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.

Bioscience is a very welcoming community in which they bring together the students through many activities and friendly competitions such as lair games for a nice break every 3 weeks. They have many clubs in which anyone can join and are extremely friendly. Being a small school they don't have much in the sports section though, they only get a few sport balls a year so nearing the end of the year there isn't much of anything good. Yet overall it's a great school and community.

Great School. I am currently a senior at Bio and I love it. This school allows me to make my own decisions while supporting/providing me with the resources I need. The teachers care about everyone's grades ab's do check-ins often. Overall, the school community is very welcoming and I recommend everyone to do research on this school.

The experience has shaped me into a person I'm proud to be and prepared me for college and for interacting with my community after that. It's a challenging school, but the success I'm expe...

I'm a student at this school and its been absolutely awesome. The jump from a regular school to this high school is extraordinary. I'm in classes where people actually want to learn something new.
