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.

The best thing about charter school is that it has a diverse community and no one judges other at all but the worse thing about it is the food they would serve us, it would taste rubbery.

Charter school for applied technologies or csat for short is a good school. There are times we're the school has had some issues/problems but other than that it's been really good.

They are very good they really help prepare you for college, since I started my senior they have been educating us on how to apply for college, FAFSA and scholarships, they gave us two weeks of what is called the senior experience which was very very very helpful because I had no idea where to begin with the college process. They helped me understand they were different types of student loans one from the federal government and one from the state (Pell and tap) respectively which I had no idea existed.

CSAT used to be a great school—our children attended for many years. But poor academics, questionable ethics and hot-headed administration caused us to pull our children out of CSAT. We quickly realized the sub-par education our children received at CSAT within the first few weeks at a public school...
