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.

We transferred our daughter to Ustach for 8th grade. The students were welcoming and the teachers were very dedicated to helping her succeed. The school culture allowed our daughter to thrive. There were more resources and opportunities than her previous school.
