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.

The staff are amazing people who always make time for you ! The activities offered are by far many more than surrounding schools . Of course the school always has drama , but the school is great at talking to and taking care of any issues/ drama that comes to their attention.

Being a teen and trying to grow to independence is challenging, but the staff works hard to have the students gain responsibility and independence in their school work. If your student would not benefit from this, than maybe this i...
