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 had the opportunity to be part of the founding class at GLOW. I have been a part of many ups and downs but GLOW has really helped me with so many opportunities in and out of school. Some examples include networking with people from a variety of careers, being a part of different programs such as NLA and Outward Bound and starting from the 6th grade you are already being introduced to the idea of going to college by visiting surrounding campuses.
