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.

Was a pretty great school. I feel like I belong. Everyone was nice to me. I don't have nearly as bad anxiety at Compass. I feel safe.

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!
