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.

Veritas Academy has a warm atmosphere if you hang out with the right people. The classes range from 15-20 students.

Some teachers will understand what your going through expect others won't. When your a junior and senior that's when they will actually worry about you. The school really does try to connect with the students but there are some students who really could care less about school or are scared to speak up.
