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.

we attended this school for 3 years and we had to move to another state. I have to say my child is way ahead of other kids in class now thanks to Jacob wismer. We really enjoyed being part of this school for few years and we miss it very badly. I wish all schools were as good as this school
