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 would like to see different food items, and different classes. The worst part about this school is the people they are messy.

I began attending this school in 9th Grade after leaving the program after 2nd Grade. I am glad I was given another chance to come to this school because the program is amazing. The smaller size of the school allows students to have deeper personal connections with staff and other students. The school focuses mainly on the best ways to help students be successful. They are really serious about college education and they always strive students to do their best.
