GreatSchools Rating
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.

I love the resources we have at the Health Sciences Charter school. We have so much support there. The teachers will make you have all the help you need if your failing that's literally on you the staff make sure you have the help you need during and after school. I love how they have different programs and sports for everybody. It's really like a family here they set up events for the community and your family at home to attend. I haven't really experience anything bad here that I have to talk about but I would like them to change the uniform policy and the lunch .

Overall Health Sciences Charter School I'd a wonderful school. What makes it a wonderful school is the staff that care for you unconditionally and only want to see you succeed. The atmosphere of the school is amazing it's a second family to many. A place that you can make long life bonds with teachers and other peers. At the end of your highschool career all they want to see is that you get your diploma,go to college or have a plan after you graduate. They have amazing after school opportunities for students to stay until 5:00 or 5:30 along with many sport teams. Teachers also prepare you for your life ahead and give you great advice. They also strive to give you as many opportunities as they can offer you along with the resources you need to be able to accomplish something. The only thing that I believe they can improve on is conflict solving.

My son loves the challenging and supportive environment the staff brings to the table.
