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.

We love that our students are receiving a well-rounded education. At Lead the focus is not just on academics, but also on character and leadership. Every morning for every age starts with a character based morning meeting. We love being in a smaller school where each child is really known and cared for by staff. We also love that school is fun and hands on. The kids take lots of field trips and do more than just sit at their desks all day.
