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.

Small school, was close to most teachers and felt as if I can reach out to them. The class sizes are also small, so you can get one-on-one with a teacher if you have a question. The internship program is also great, having the opportunity to start an internship allowed me to figure out what I wanted to major in.

Since this school opened in 2015 I was part of the inaugural class. The cool thing about that is that you're the only ones at this school for your freshman year but only we got to experience that. This school is focused on personalized learning and has achieved on doing their best on that but it is just not possible for every single student. Our classes are small which is a good thing because our teachers can focus more on us, we get our own laptops and can even take them home to finish homework and schoolwork. Overall it is a good school, the size is small but that's what makes it great.
