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 made a lot of good friends at Denman and there were a lot of ways students could connect with each other. Before I graduated, we had gotten more space in the building to use. They also announced an Ipad program and we had a lot of tech support and technology to use. Teachers were all around okay to their students and built comfortable spaces for them.I don't think I was prepared for high school as much as would have liked. But I can't say much (graduated in 2016)

It’s a big school (about 800 kids) and it’s certainly an adjustment from our cozy elementary school, but my son is really rising to the occasion. He’s becoming much more independent and...
