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.

It was a good experience here at City on a Hill these past years. I've experienced up and downs while attending this school but mostly positive. Teachers share a close bond with students and help them engage as much as possible. College counselors has made this whole college process much easier and they are much appreciated.

Because it's a small school they focus on their students. Sometimes it's hard to get the teachers to understand you so I would like the adults to be more understanding.

The teachers at City on a Hill are very capable to teach the subjects and have the students get a better understanding about them. They want the best fro you and make sure that you understand or they'll stay after with you to make sure that you understand it. The students in the class will help each other put in making sure that they comprehend the lesson and help build each other up in the class.
