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.

The teachers are really great and personable. The class sizes are not very large so you feel like you can spend time with the teacher for any questions you have.

Gentry High School Conversion Charter was a great school to go to because it was not too big. There was plenty of resources and opportunities that you could do almost anything you wanted.

Everything was fine freshman year, but they introduced Summit Learning and all students agree that Summit learning teaches us nothing. Our School is strong, but when we're not leaning anything whats the point. All the students don't care. Myself have a bad experience today as we have around 35 weeks of school and 18 content assessment and our teacher give us one day a week. He doesn't allow us to do more then one content assessment a week and we have to take notes one week. it'll take around 36 weeks in his system. I was being nice about 35 weeks because he has to be here for us to take the content assessment so factor in 4 week due to sickness/personal we got 36 weeks we need and 31 weeks of school. As you can see the administration and summit system put us in situations to lose.
