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.

In Phoenix I got the opportunity to get better in school life. Phoenix is helping me to be able to graduate when I thought I couldn't in the other schools I've been to. Phoenix gave me the hope I needed to not give up and to keep going.
