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.

Overall, I'd have to say that my experience at STEM has been great. I've gotten to know a lot of teachers personally, and I've gotten to participate in a lot of activities and such. This school is unique because of the close relationships that students and teachers build because it is a very small school compared to others
