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 like the fact that i am able to finish so many classes at my own pace, because this gives me a chance to finish high school earlier and attend great colleges. I have always wanted to be a math teacher and a nutritionist, and the teachers at this school support me and encourage me and motivated me to reach that goal. However I feel that this school isn't as safe as it should be.

Wilson really helped turn around my son. I just really would have liked to know about Wilson sooner. The teachers really care and the class sizes are small.
