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.

Dayspring is a rigorous academic program that prepares its students for college. The arts portion of the program is very high quality, as is the sciences and English program. Though in my personal experience the Spanish courses I took (in 2021-23) were sub par, I had close to 5 teachers in a span of two years and many of them struggled to deliver the material in a way that the students understood.

I went here from kindergarten until 8th grade. They didn't have a high school back then, and I wish they did. The best school you could send your child to. They only helped further my education by laying the groundwork. I am now going for my B.S. degree. Without the solid foundation laid by Dayspring, I don't think I would be as confident in continuing my education as I am today.

As an Alum- I am so fortunate to have attended Dayspring. I am the first of rum family to go to college. I was able graduate with an AA and a scholarship. If you want a school that let's you skate by with out working hard or taking responsibility- you will need to go somewhere else. I look at how all my friends turned out and I am so grateful my parents sent me to Dayspring.

As a tenth grader, I know going to school can be stressful and finding motivation is difficult. Dayspring is such a great school because, although the workload is a lot, I know I am learning something new every day. I feel as if the teachers care about me, not only academically but also how I am as...
