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.

PSA is an outstanding school that is fully vested in their students. students have an array of high level courses. PSA offers dual enrollment and AP courses. The staff are highly qualified and care about the success of their students! I highly recommend giving PSA full consideration of choice for educating your child! My daughter likes being a student at PSA!

My overall experience at Paragon Science Academy was okay. Paragon is a diverse school and has great people. The education at Paragon is average but, there are some great teachers. If I could change anything at Paragon, it would be sports and clubs. Paragon lacks clubs and sports which I think are very important. Clubs and sports help us in finding ourselves and what we like. Overall, Paragon is an alright school that could use a few changed.

Paragon is evil. They force students to unenroll to not ruin the rating they have. Instead of helping the students.
