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.

I have worked at GPM since the founding of the secondary program. We are a fantastic choice for Intrinsically motivated students.

First off, I was told not to do this by the teachers. They told us "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence. " The teachers are amazing however, the curriculum is bellow average. We do not have an SRO which causes many to feel unsafe. Electives are horrible, it is all online through IDLA which if anything kills your interest in that subject. I also noticed that all of us are physically smaller than our public school counterparts which is most likely due to our lack of sports which inadvertently leads to a lack of school spirit. The only reason I am at this school is because it makes it really easy to get an AA.

Being a smaller school I feel helps students not fall through the cracks. My children have struggled academ...

We started with the school when they were a start up. The orginal administration was phenomenal! When she moved on to open Gem Prep North, the school was shaken and never recovered. The current administrator was overwhelmed and it was apparent in every way. The teachers are overworked, even more so...
