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.

Please inform people that charter school don't have enough help for kids with special needs and after few years kids are moved to the public schools. You do segregation- only smart and without problems kids can be in yours schools. If kids have problems and needs more more help you moved them to the public schools- it is this not fair for kids with special needs!!!
