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.

More clubs need to be added to the school. It needs to be simpler to get clubs and other things like that approved. There also needs to be better ways for students to connect with one another since we were online.

It delivered wonderfully for the homeschooling academy that it is. The best part is the funds and hands on support from your teacher. The worst parts are all associated with the lack of resources that come with homeschooling (which I chose to do).

This is a homeschool program, so there's not much to complain about. The school is quite flexible and easy to work with.

We have enjoyed this school for many years. Now it is breaking into smaller schools, and we are far less happy about that.
