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.

Ocean Grove Charter School is an amazing way to do independent studies and have an accredited diploma by the time of graduation.

My experience in Ocean Grove Charter School made me who I am today. This sounds cheesy––I know, but it is completely true. I would not have been as successful as I have been academically had it not been for the hands-on assistance I have had the pleasure of experiencing from the combined efforts of my parents, my education specialist, and the faculty and staff of Ocean Grove.

I liked how much money we were allotted each year to spend on curriculum/tools/classes; however, everything was very overpriced, making buying something like a laptop or instrument impossible, unless I wanted to blow all my allotted money on one thing. The variety in class vendors was great and I was able to attend dance classes and pay nothing out of pocket; I really appreciated that.

We have been with Ocean Grove Charter School since it opened it's doors. It has been a fabulous opportunity for my children to learn at their own pace and experience so many things hands on. We can focus on their needs and their strengths appropriately. We love it.
