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.

Compass is not just one of, but the best school I have been to. I have learned more than I ever could have at any other school I could have gone to. Every single teacher at the school is some of the nicest, most accepting people you could meet, and their biggest goal really does seem to be to teach the people around them. I only wish some of the peers around me working would use the time that our school gives to work and they would use that to their advantage instead of being loud and disrupting others.
