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.

Homestead prepared me academically for the rigors of college. I have opportunities to get involved in the community through volunteer work and classroom connections to local businesses. There were many opportunities to get involved in co-curriculars which helped make the high school experience enjoyable.

I've known three generations to come out of this school. Homestead may turn out a few superstars, but at what cost?Homestead is great when you look at the education ratings.
