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.

I enjoy being able to take classes I want along with those that are required to graduate. B.E.S.T gives each student a designated monetary allotment that allows them to purchase resources to assist in their education. This year I am taking British Literature and through B.E.S.T, I am able to travel to England and explore the history behind the books I read.
