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've been at Encore for the past six years and it has been a wonderful experience. The arts programs offered are by far superior to my local schools. The best part is being around like-minded people who have the same passion as me. The worst part was probably the administration in the beginning, but that has since changed and it's been wonderful since the change.

Encore is a great school for those who want to pursue an art career. It has many different art classes to offer which can count towards college. They also have many great college courses.

Encore has been a great fit for my student. My son has an IEP. They worked his services into his schedule without pulling him away from his core classes. Encore has amazing opportunities and electives. All schools have areas that need improvments and Encore is working on their communication skills. The experience my son has had is very positive.

The programs were amazing for artistic students… but those who run the school are an embarrassment. There is practic...

My kids really like this school. Both are honor roll kids and doing great. They love all the elective choices too. No problems with bullying like their last school.
