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.

Originally I attended this school because they offered online schooling which I needed because I was missing almost every day of school due to medical issues. This school allowed me to get my high school education whilst dealing with that. After I had gotten better I decided to stay at this school because of the aid and attention I got from teachers as well as staff that worked at the school. If I had questions or concerns regarding anything they made sure to get back to me in a timely manner which I appreciated. Some teachers in the school even went above and beyond to help students in the subjects they were teaching so it could be more easily comprehensible. Overall this school was a different experience of schooling compared to other schools I've gone to in the past but in this case the difference is a good difference and i'm glad I was able to attend this school for my high school years.

The teachers at this school overall do rather well with the grading, and making sure students keep up with their credits. If students don't show up for appointments with their teachers, the teachers call home and make sure the student reschedules. After too many missed days they will reconsider the way the student is receiving their education.
