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.

Such a great small school. An amazing full-day internship program. A welcoming and accepting community. Teachers who obviously care and go above and beyond to help their students. It's like a second family to so many of the students and really sets them on a course for success in their life.
