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.

Don't bother, most teachers preach "progressiveness" and come off as such at first but when actually faced with bigotry in an educational setting do almost nothing. Counselors and administration are more intimidating than helpful. Don't waste your time here

FernLeaf is the most incredible community. Students, staff, and parents are mutually respected, and the standards held for all are incredibly high. Everything that the school says that they stand for is incorporated into daily decisions. Students get personalized instruction with a strong emphasis on their social emotional growth.
