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.

The best part of Renaissance was the community and ability to make good relationship with teachers. The worst part was how some teachers taught and how unprepared we were for certain classes. I would like to see change within the Science program, the entire curriculum taught is fine but the way it was taught in all classes was very challenging to apply to and learn.

I had a great experience all 4 years here. Hidden gem in the treasure valley. Best part is their IB curriculum. Worst part is being attached to the district office, where there's more 'official day to day business' where things are less flexible compared to other schools.
