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.

Throughout my four years, I've had a great time. I've come into my person and learned how to value education. I felt like I belonged at SOAR and I honestly would not go to another school over this one. I

It's very diverse but also very hard to fit in. Some teachers are really strict and others are the perfect amount of strict. They always look at for you amd will be straight forward with you. They will not sugarcoat that you are not doing good. They try to help you strive better and be better. They keep you up to Date as well. Even though we don't have sports we still get out daily exercise when talking a pe class in the college. It may be a bit to.mucj but if you are up for it I'm glad you found soar. It's a way ti find your strengths and weaknesses with then helping you.

This school is amazing. It’s a pre-college school. The reason they don’t offer AP or IB classes is because the students are taking actual college classes. It would simply be to much for the students.

As a student that attends Soar High School, I have to give this school credit. It's probably the best school you can get out here in the AV. I much rather go to SOAR than going to a comprehensive High School not just because of safety, but because of the potential, commitment, and fun we students ha...
