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.

My experience at Da Vinci Design was unique, the school met my expectations throughout my time there. Overall the academics were good, I feel like I retained sufficient information and my ovetall experience with most of the teachers was delightful. I would recommend this school to family and friends due to its involvement with students and theyre families and theyre concern for student safety.

This school has been a waste of 4 years of my life. No football, no basketball, a makeshift soccer team, no music, etc. the structure is horrible, with teachers plucked right out of college at sometimes even 21 years old. Mastery based grading is a scam to increase grades and scores for uninterested...
