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.

I have been with Life School for 12 years. Overall experience was good. Life provided an experience and feel of a public school in a charter school setting. Over the years, the school has become looser in its standards and requirements, I believe. Leading to some students not being as disciplined. Would like to see changes to include a second gym or practice gym and more clubs and options for students.

I have been apart of Life School since kindergarten, so I can confidently say as the years went by, it has gracefully improved in academics, teachers, principals, safety/security, etc . There are dozens of learning opportunities for students to be apart of and there is always a place for you to fit because of the opportunities granted from k-12. Not many schools offer the credits, programs, clubs, etc like Life School, so I am proud to have be part of the community

I attended Life all four years of high school. I enjoyed high school for the most part. I just wish the campus was much bigger and more space provided for the students and staff. I believe that each teacher deserves their own classroom instead of having to share with multiple teacher.
