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.

They do not cater to those on a 504 plan. They don’t want to deal with the parents who care about their child’s well...

I absolutely love Tate. The teachers are amazing and it shows in the students. Moving this year and the hardest decision has been moving away from Tate.
