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.

While looking for a school for my 5 year old boy. After looking a couple of schools we found Imagine Desert West to be what we wanted. The school is small so everything is within reach and staff has a well control on students. I like their policies and rules. bathrooms are inside. During classes they control very good who enters the school. Academically it's one of the best in the area. Parent know the staff and they know the parents.
