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.

When I was attending the school, I would have to say that it was a very different experience due to the fact It was an academy. I honestly have been in multiple academy throughout my school career. It was very good experience because they helped you when you needed assistant and you didn't have to wait as long as you would when you in a so call public schools.
