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.

Most of the teachers do all they can for their students to help them graduate as long as the students themselves are willing to put forth the effort to do so. The teachers are fun, interesting, and intelligent In their work. I've had a positive experience while attending Summit Academy and I'm glad to have been part of their family.
