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.

I can confidently say it provided an exceptional education and a vibrant community atmosphere. The dedicated faculty, diverse extracurriculars, and emphasis on holistic development created an environment where students could thrive academically and personally. The sense of camaraderie and inclusivity made it a place where everyone felt valued and supported.
