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.

It was an amazing 4 years that I attended. The teachers were super beneficial and took the time to meet and work with you outside of class. You get to know everyone there quickly and your way around school. Admin is very nice and fun to be around.

The teachers are very attentive to their students' success. I had a great time attending this school and I even managed to graduate a year early, with the help from the wonderful faculty at James Monroe High.
