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 academy for allied health sciences was a time. It's lots of hard work and deep leaving sometimes you'll wanna leave and never come back but overall i'd say it was an amazing experiment and i'd never change that. I learned so much that i wouldn't have learned any where else. I met some incredible teachers and staff made so many connections as well as receiving so much knowledge. I totally recommend as long as you really want to :))
