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.

My year so far attending Classical Magnet has had many uphill moments followed by very few downhill moments. The experience of the school's culture and involvement with other culture's is top tier and the selection in syllabus and faculty is outstanding.

Very bad school with no disipline. They make it seem nice and fancy but it is actually terrible. Most of the teachers hate their jobs and don't care about the students. I learned very little in the time that I went here. The principal of the school is constantly changing which is likely the cause of...
