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.

My experience as a student in the Young Women'a leadership school since 6th grade has been an amazing experience. You wake up knowing that you are in a safe zone and helpful community. The teachers and staffs that work here make sure that you feel welcomed every day and enjoy learning at this school.

Until you experience a single-sex classroom, it is hard to understand how beneficial it is. It took me time to fully realize how instrumental an all-girls environment was in making me the woman I am today. I saw an unabashed sense of acceptance for simply being myself, no matter what. I found myself embracing sisterhood in all of its glory and as I said, It has immensely shaped who I am today.
