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 my school has great interaction between the students and the teachers. The classes aren't very big so the can do a lot of one on one explaining. Also, they give out verbal test if you didn't pass a traditionally written one, but really know the material. I think this is a great way to skip the time wasted in public schools and just give the students the knowledge they need for high school and college.

I can't say enough good things about GWA. We moved here from northern Utah and I am blown away with how open and accommodating all of the staff, admin, etc have been to me and my boys. Every teacher I have come across has expressed genuine interest in my family and has spent time discussing concerns...

Best school in St George! We came from California and wanted rigor for our children. This was our best option and we have loved it! My 7th grader was approved to take 10th grade math onsite while GWA paid for it. Amazing! GWA works with the parents and children to get them what they need to thrive....
