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.

Nova is actually a great school if you are focused on being a student. Many of the teachers actually care about the student's success. Getting in is a little difficult but once you are in, it's a place that you would want to spend your entire high school journey at. I would hope that in the future, the school allows more break time for lunches.
