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 transferred by daughter to this school from Discovery Middle school. If you are in a situation where you have to consider this school because of a move, please don't do it. Do everything you can to get your child into Madison city schools. My daughter is very bright and attends all honors clases but there is nothing here for my daughter to do. There is no funding for extra curriculum activity unless your child is in the gifted program, but getting in is impossible at this age.

When my child was out sic...

Hey! I was a former student at the AGT program of the school, and to be entirely honest, it’s not the best. Allow me to elaborate. Firstly, fights would occur almost all the time, and sometimes navigating to classrooms was a pain. Secondly, the current principal honestly isn’t the best. He treats us...
