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.

My experience has been top-notch. I love the fact that I get to move at my own pace! I only wish there were field trips geared toward older students.

they really helped me out with reading my grade level because the school I was in before had me reading 4th-grade level and I was in 7 grade. But you also have to have motivation because a lot of the work is on your own but with the hard work I was reading above average and I have high As and Bs.
