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.

My experience was great at Inspire. They really tried to make the school and community better for all who attend. The best thing that the did was put students first and had teachers rehired every year to make sure that students are getting the education that they deserve.

It's pretty supportive, they have many resources for the student's mental health, and the classes I believe in the arts and sciences that prepare students for their futures. The faculty is nice, and the teachers genuinely care about the students.
