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.

The worst school ever my kid came back with a broken thumb miss Lamanna is the worst screams at kids and calls them dumb and tells them to use their mind . my kid is depressed now because of her. My child has been having nightmares because of this teacher I believe that this. Should we shut down the behavior team? They give you detention for the smallest things my children have to do work at home or anything else detention for every small thing. The pizza is so bad. All the food is bad that my child did not eat one bite and got sick..

I have been going to Higher Ground Academy (HGA) since the start of my high school career. Over the last few years, being a student at HGA has changed my life. Out of every school, I went to, HGA has given me to the best opportunities that would lead me to success. It's been a blessing to be a student at HGA.

It was a great school educational-wise. But this school has no sports and only two to three clubs. Not a fun school to go to.
