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.

Hands down its an amazing school. My two sons attended this school and flourished. Da Vinci has taken education to another level. I couldn't be any happier and super lucky my kids went here. Teachers and admin are dedicated, they teach real world experiences, they hold students to high at standards. I cannot thank them enough for educating my kids the way they did.
