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.

Communication by the administrative is poor. They DO NOT respond to emails or messages. If they do respond it is short and not friendly.
All they do is send your child home when he or she has an behavior instead of redirecting the child and continue to teach them , they take the easy way out and send them him or her home and that's not doing anything but stopping them from furthering there education.
Gary Lighthouse College Prep, Graduating 100% of the senior class with 100% accepted to colleges is fantastic. Principal Hart and her staff deserve the lion's share of the credit. This is a great school.
