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.

100% worth the move to Reno. The school does such a good job ensuring every student is placed in their correct classes through their diagnostic process. The teachers are hands down the best out of any school I've ever interacted and the support staff is second to none. Feels nice to have a school where students are challenged based on their abilities rather than age. An added bonus is that the school is located on the University of Nevada, Reno's campus where students can dual enroll and get the feel of a college campus before graduating high school.
