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.

It's a fantastic school for a suburban, middle class student-family. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and had I been educated on the necessities for college success from the beginning, I may have succeeded even more than I did.

All of my teachers have been incredibly engaging. We talk about topics that relate to the subjects their teaching but also what's going on in our world and how it can effect our lives. 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.

All of the instructors, staff, principle are outstanding. The school is run like a college with the student taking a lot of the responsibility to do the work, turn it in and work with other students.

Nova was a game-changer for my son, who had been bullied in middle school. Students build strong bonds with teachers who serve as mentors and advocates. The curriculum is highly engaging and students are held to high standards. We need more schools like this!

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. It's...
