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.

Our son is freshman at Henderson and he really likes the school. Anytime he needs extra help after school the teachers always are ready to stay and help. Beautiful school with great facilities and welcoming atmosphere. Strict policies on bullying and respectful behavior makes for a safe environment...
