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.

There is no cafeteria, they bring in lunch from a different school in the area, so understandably there aren't many options. They do have 2 fridges (one with a freezer) and 2 microwaves, plus a toaster, so it's accommodating for bringing your own lunch. Students eat wherever, which in my opinion is way better than everyone being in a cafeteria.

Lots and lots of communication with parents. Dress code loosely enforced, principle hands-on and involved, office staff nice and helpful.

They have undergone a lot of changes in the last year and is not like it used to be. Less emphasis on home-school & more on small public school feel and testing! The admin as changed so some changes were expected but if your a home-schooling parent you may see the differences. Mine is out of school...
