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.

Ocean Grove provides a great unorthodox learning environment, where students are given the resources to be homeschooled.

What I enjoyed about Ocean Grove Charter School was that it allowed me to work at my own pace throughout high school. I was able to take classes that I actually enjoyed and were also applicable to the A-G requirements for college. I felt like this school and their teachers really care about the success of their students, and strive to ensure that their students achieve a high level of education without being too over stressed.
