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.

It was ok but I felt that homestead could have put less focus on college readiness and some more focus on other post grad opportunities

Lack of diversity. Sense of entitlement of the students is off now the charts. Pretty racist school despite having a BSU. Guidance counselors check the boxes but offer no real guidance. Most of the students spend their time vaping and doing drugs in the bathrooms. Good for athletics.
