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.

This school really help me prepare for university, I was given a lot of tools my friends who graduated regularly didn't have. The expectations set by my teachers and professors were difficult yet achievable, the community built within the school was great, and the staff were dedicated to making sure we all graduated and were moving on to a university or trade school.

The school is really nice, I feel like most teachers do really care about their students. Though sometimes it can get stressful because the school is extremely competitive when it comes to class rank.

It is a great school that gives you so much preparation for the real world. The staff is great and since its a smaller school you feel more connected to your teachers. The main thing the school lacks is the High School aura, there's no sports and the campus inside a college building. However the school makes up for this stuff by letting you play sports at your zoned high school and you get used to the smaller building space. it's a great school, you know everyone in your class and by the end of your four years, everyone is basically one big family.

I would NOT recommend this school. They think very highly of what they offer. Other schools offer college credits as well. Aside from this, there is absolutely nothing to get excited about here. Many points to this. But, generally, not worth the frustration involved with "Getting in".

I feel there isn't enough teacher involvement. When you hand a student a list and and say look it up while the teacher plays on her cell phone in class while the students are present is beyond my understanding. A teacher, should TEACH, especially when its a tough class such as Biology.

I will be a sophomore the upcoming year, and so far, there have been many more pros than cons. I came from a gifted and talented program in intermediate school. The challenge comparison to the gifted program is a lot less. If you are a student or a parent of a student who took all regular classes, b...
