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 would absolutely do it all over again in a heartbeat

We have moved, but greatly enjoyed our time at HCE. The school was a caring and warm place for my child and I felt like she got a world class education there. Remember, scores aren't everything…the wonderful community matters.

Need I say more? We love this school. You can research all you want and base your decision on a school with a higher score. Numbers do not tell the whole story. If you want your child to educated while learning to be a well-rounded person, this is one school that does just that.
