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.

Southwest Open School, and experimental experiential outdoor learning opportunity, is hands down the best highschool I have heard of; though in recent years it has begun to decline with the advent of a new director and loss of funding.

My child just completed his first year and I'm more than pleased. I'm thankful SWOH was available.

SWOS helped me discover my true potential in every aspect of my life. Before SWOS I didn't know where my life was taking me. I had no goals and no vision but that all changed when I started to attend SWOS. The staff there are amazing and they don't ever give up on students but rather challenge them...
