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.

Throughout my academic career, Pine lake preparatory has been incredibly supportive. The teachers demonstrate passion for their subjects, and the counseling team is always available to lend a hand. With their abundance of honors and AP-level courses, the school naturally prepares students for college.
