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.

City on a Hill was a nice school to attend to. I made some very nice memories. I made a lot of bonds with students and teachers. I'd like to see the effort of teachers to change.

I like the location! The school hours are reasonable not too early which is a plus. Things I would like to see change is staff and financial issues . Students had to split up schools because of this. Staff are leaving and finding new jobs.

I like that City on a Hill had a lot of fun activities and it prepare you not only for college but life in general. They have a lot of connection with outside program. For example, I participated in a lot of college readiness program. But most of all is the competitive energy that everyone possess during field it's the best day of our lives.
