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 went to Disney 2 Magnet High School for the whole 4 years it was difficult because 2020 was virtual but from 2021 to 2024 it has been off and on. It really depends on the teacher you have because some teacher really doesn't care they just there for a check but other teacher are really there for the students and that's what I loved. The overall experience here was somewhat good because you make friends and they help you with anything it's just the academics and the clubs it's really limited and not enough for everyone.

I went to Disney for all of my high school years in 2018. I enjoyed the music program and arts program when I was there, I enjoyed participating in the annual talent shows. I enjoyed having off campus lunch and participating in the program that took us on a field trip to cabins. There could be more safety because I remember there was multiple fights that happened.

I joined Disney back in 2018 and it is the most diverse and welcoming community I have ever been a part of. The teachers here have helped me grow as a person both individually and academically. During my time, here I have made many great friends who I plan to stay in contact with when I go to college. Overall, My time at Disney has been extremely positive.

My 2/3 kids are going there and 3rd will in few years. School is awesome. We transferred them few years ago from "fancy" CPS school where they invented all kinds of problems with our kids. As soon as they started, we could see things are good. They are doing really well and thriving in this school....

I have found the school to be the perfect size for my kid. The teachers are great at meeting the kids where they are and starting from there. They have a nice counseling program.

Absolutely awful. I can’t believe they shut down so many schools and this one is still open. A literal safety hazard.
