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.

selfish teachers and also stupid teachers who couldn't tell when they're entire class was high, made alot of memories but the kids basically ran that school when I was there and it was honestly hilarious teachers trying to fake teach so they can get a check.

From cockroaches in the bathrooms to the teachers who were selfish, the school was a pit of low success and sadness. A lot of resentment lives in that school and it shows when the staff never try to meet the students needs.

My daughter attended STEM Academy for middle school. We were worried we would not find a high school that would challenge her. She chose Islands and is in the Scientific Research Program. They moved her to Sophomore Honors classes her Freshman year. She is very happy and so are we. Great program.
