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.

School Without Walls has strong teachers and academics. Despite being a small school, it also has many opportunities as far as clubs and resources are concerned. There are sports teams, and some are very good. However, there is not a huge sports culture because we do not have any "home games". Overall, I feel this school has prepared me for college.

I loved my time in high school. It was difficult to start, and the pandemic impacted the school heavily. The students were extremely academically driven, slightly competitive, but created a unique, enriching, and loving work environment.

Overall, while some experiences were quite wonderful, SWW's posture regarding students with disabilities is one of being careful but not really committed. I think my son would have been better prepared to be a an advocate for himself in post-secondary and in life had he attended a school that was ac...

There is a tone of arrogance that you can feel the moment you step in and deal with the staff at the front office. They really treat people disrespectfully. The administration of the school is terrible. The principal is arrogant and a bully with his staff. Many of the teachers have reported harassme...
