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.

This is the best school I could have asked for/found. It is smaller than a traditional public high school, and their focus is on students/teens who struggle with social interactions, and also have anxiety and other learning disabilities. I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum, and through my 2+ years here, I have found that the staff and teachers are extremely supportive of my struggles and willing to help me overcome my challenges to be a successful high school graduate.

This school is a great example of how Alternative Education can be more "Innovative" than punitive. The staff is always trying something new to improve student morale and ownership.
