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.

Dedicated staff that care about their students. Students that care about each other and live the core values of the school. Arrival and dismissal run quite smooth. Our parents are involved and work with the school to make this place as great as it is.

I've seen some good classes and teaching going on there. They're a small place; they don't have the big school stuff. But they got the best college prep and test prep and other "nerd" stuff going on. I hope they open up a place in Sherman. I have family there.
