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.

Well my experience at the School of Arts + Enterprise is very well. I am a freshman In high school and with quarantine and this transition from being at the school of arts from 7TH then back in person in 9th was not easy for all students. But I will say being a student from day one of 7TH grade I enjoy school.There are a lot of arts and teachers are willing ti help you and Ik that most of the teachers really cared about me and I know about all of us students.What I liked about school is that it's very diverse in students coming from all backgrounds and there are lots of opportunities that benefit us students so much. There's teachers really push and make things fun. That also the community that you will build with other is very meaningful and fun.What I would like to see change is that there would be more teachers this year a lot of teachers left with there being a teacher shortage it can be really hard. I would also like to see change in students hear more and more of a change.

I love the people at this school(some of them), but it is a cesspool of pure chaos. The school doesn't care about the student's mental health the way they say they do. The teachers are constantly leaving so there isn't any structure. The school has a terrible drug problem AND a bullying problem.
