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.

My experience wasn't the best. There wasn't many activities nor clubs to join. I can say that the teachers love and work hard to teach each student if wanted to be taught.

Dozens of kids would be sent home, missing out on their "private school education" (as Coach Allen would call it).

My freshman year King college Prep was the school to be at. Now it seems like everything isn't the same anymore. Administration have too many restrictions on students, they really don't have a lot of freedom. A lot of classes and activities were cut out.
