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.

It is a very small school so everyone is connected in some type of way shape or form. Some people thrive in a school like that and some do not. I do enjoy the school more than others. I have been there since kindergarten so I basically grew up with everyone at the school so it was not hard at all to make any friends there. I know a lot of new people who struggle getting to know people. But the school makes it very inclusive to new students which even people from the outside eye can see.

Voyager had both pros and cons that related to its size. Each grade only had 100 people, which is 400 less per grade of a public school. This was beneficial because it allowed for small class sizes, but hurtful to the social lives of the students.

My child had a great experience at voyager elementary. He shined. He felt loved, happy and safe. At middle school, that all changed. He still felt safe and had plenty of friends, but the kids were out of control. The teachers didn't have enough structure, or maybe it was just that the kids were too...
