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.

Awful experience overall, with only a few exceptions among the staff. My child learned very little here, came home angry almost every day, and was even nearly stabbed by another student—yet the other child faced no suspension. The band teacher frequently complained openly about not being paid enough...

We have been so pleased with TMS. particularly with their ATLAS program. The leadership of the program and the school are excellent.
