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.

i went to this school last year and it was a mess. They had us eat expired food and leftovers from another school. There is no gym or no cafeteria. The school is very small and we can barely move around. don't get started on the teachers, some of them are rude. The sports team sucks, barely anyone play, it's like we don't even get trained so we always lose because have no gym. the food is bad the school, in general, is bad, terrible. If u plan on going here don't. SOTA is better than this.

The coursework was engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed my years at SWW. I would have preferred more opportunities to improve math and science skills prior to college and I hope that current students fare better than the class of 2000 in that arena.

I used to be a student here but my mom took me out and put me in a bad school. When I was at school without walls it was the best school I had ever been to. I didn't know there was a really good school like that in the city.

Unfortunately we completed regretted the decision to enroll a student at this school. She never felt physically safe, and the academics were not at all up to snuff for a bright college-bound student. When I visited the school during the school day, there was always a sense of chaos; of adults being...
