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 best part of this exsperience is that this school is preparing me for college and setting me up for success when I graduate. I have completed all of my high school credits and I will be graduating with my AA. What I would like to see change is how communiocation works. All students must have an app called band where we communicate with all the faculty which can be difficult because sometime they dont respond or dont see the notification. Being able to email more often and get a responce when needed what be great especially if it for my success.

Collegiate was the right choice for me because it's academically challenging but has less school hours. We're basically on our own and actually have to care about our education. The collegiate environment is also amazing, the administration, students, teachers make it that way. I don't have any bad things to say about Collegiate because so far my experience has been more then what I hoped for.

I started at this school my junior year of high school and I am so relieved with my progress so far. At this school, I am studying to graduate with my AA. I finish high school this semester and then will have all college courses next semester. Overall, my experiences have been amazing and I have learned so much.
