I like just almost everything. The bad that came from the school we're only the teachers and lack of experience but overall it has been getting better

The teachers have been welcoming, I've actually been able to make friends, and I've been able to experience high school in a way I never thought I would.

Compass provides a definitive solution for the eclectic variety of learning possibilities needed for students today. Not a one size fits all anymore.

I went to a tusd school for two years and found that I lacked what everyone else seemed to have. confidence , intelligence , the ability to walk about a hall way and feel safe , everything in public schools led me to trouble and discomfort. I started compass this year as a junior and I'm here to say...

This place is atrocious, high turnover of staff, poor supervision of students. Directors/ admins that are all related. Too much emphasis put on lab classes for making up credits. Great concept for a charter school, extremely poor execution.

Went from being overwhelmed with pointless homework, to being overwhelmed with all the options of different cool class offerings! I wanted to do them all! I had no idea that one school can have such a variety of different hands on classes... Go tour the campus and see for yourself!
