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.

I think the biggest change that needs to be implemented is the administration more willing to talk to the students. In a school where most of the clubs are student led and run, we barely get to speak to our administration who approve or deny our events. Along with this the school needs to become more willing to new ideas and events and be flexible as well.

Some of the best parts of the school are the students. The community is great and the students all interact and have fun with one another. One of the bad parts about the school is that there is limited clubs and sports. Students are also unable to pick certain classes that they would like to take.

This is a test prep school. It has nothing to do with actual learning or college readiness. Starting from middle school the environment is incredibly toxic and seems more like a prison than a school. If you want to punish your child send them here. Most teachers simply give online work as they are not qualified to teach and most parents are immigrants or didn't go to a college in the US so they don't seem to care. They send them because it is free test prep not real classes. If you have any other choice take it as this school is not normal and is most likely connect to the charters involved with the Turkish mafia. Good luck.

High turn around for teachers , no one stays here unless their kids conveniently go to the school. I guess if you are under privileged then this would be a good school or if...

It has been an extremely lonnng journey and we have officially reached our limit. The administration is completely tone deaf. There isn’t enough room to accommodate the students already, yet all the administration talks about is EXPANSION. Classes are so tight that chrome-books are carried back and...

My son has enrolled to this school 3 years ago. It was a great school in the beginning. This school was a good school but it changed dramatically. Students sit on the floor, there are no white or smartboards in the classrooms. I know there is a maintenance guy at the school to take care stuff at sch...
