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.

They encourage us to speak our minds and teach us how to expand on our thoughts and ideas. I have never been to a school like this before and I feel like I'm learning more now then I ever had before.

I really love this school. It allows me to be independent while still catching me when I fall. Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough work or the teachers aren't assigning a lot of homework, but then I go into my classes and realize that the amount of work I'm doing in my classes is a lot.
