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.

It is a small school so one gets close to the staff; the ambiance in the school is chill. One change I would like to see would be hiring AP teachers with experience and a high success rate of students passing the test.
