The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It gave me hope in the face of darkness. The school provided me with resources and help the gave me the hope and faith to keep trying when no one else did the teacher and staff were so supportive and they even made sure that I understood the material they took off their day in the afternoon to make sure that I was able to gain the material for next day test or quiz although the homework was a bit stressful it helped me in the long run to be a better student but most of all to help me become a better person

I have been in the charter school system for a while now, and I am glad to say that this school has helped me establish my path to college. The programs offered and the help teachers and counselors provide are amazing. However their strict rules and disciplinary codes have made high school more stressful.

I likethat it was a privent school. Theyseriousr about pushing thier students to all be on top. They treat students who are in middle school like high school students when it comesto academice. Each week studeent would be given GPA as to see where they stand if there were to be in High School.

My daughter had been going here since kindergarten. She is now in 2nd grade. Kindergarten through first grade was a great experience. Those two teachers were very informative and engaging with not only my scholar but with me also, keeping me up to date on my child’s progress. I think those are the o...
