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.

Terrible school. I went here for two years before finally making the right decision and leaving. Daniel Wright's curriculum is very basic and the school lacks many resources. Along with that, I was bullied by both students AND teachers. Please consider sending your child to a school that they can actually LEARN at.
