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.

When I came to STEM Academy of Hollywood, I thought it would be like Middle School, but that wasn't true. There were different path ways. The different path way in STEM Academy are Engineering and Medicine. I went into the Engineering path way. Its mostly working together and individual. As well as using different software online and installed in the computer.
