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.

The teachers my student had seemed to lack care for teaching. There is lots of bullying in the school and constant fights. We had to get my child a tutor because every time she requested extra help from the teacher they would tell her "look at the PowerPoint or youtube "

As the parent of a gifted student I think Twin Lakes was a good place for my daughter. For the most part she had teachers that challenged her and were very good. The advanced classes tend to all stick together in that she saw all of the same students all day long which has it's pros and cons. It is a very diverse school which is a great thing. I think a lot of the bad rap it sometimes gets may be from the more standard classes, but the advanced programs seem good.
