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.

Before when I wasn't in IDEA I had really bad grades sometimes I didn't listen to the teachers, or do my assignments. When I went to IDEA I improved so much in my academics with the help of my amazing teachers they pushed me to pass their exams and class which is why I'm so grateful for them because they were part of the reason why my gpa is a good.

Overall the schools main goal is to get your child to college. This makes it a great pick or anyone that wants to go to college. The teachers and counselors are also very involved in the process to get that student to college/university. To further that goal they will focus on giving students a lot of chances to shine. For example they will pay or your AP exams and ACT tests. This incentives students to take the test and if they fail they could always take it again next year but with preparation. Overall the school is very good if you want to go to the college of your choice.
District focusses on state exams and nothing else. They do not believe in integrating technology into the class. They have little resources for STEM, a weak arts program, and no hands on learning. Classes are over crowded and teachers turnover rate is abysmal. I see no reason to keep my kids here.

They walk through the halls like robots and aren't even allowed to talk during lunch time. We do homework until b...
