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.

Have you ever been a Carnival cruise? You think, "This is okay. Fun! You may have some concerns, but you don't know any better." Then, later you go on a Disney, Norwegian, Princess, or Royal Caribbean cruise and think, "WHAT THE HELL, CARNIVAL?!!" Go ahead and try Peak, because you don't know any better. Learn from the mistakes of others. Your children deserve better.
