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.

Collegiate charter school of Lowell helped me build the confidence to apply myself to things I never thought I would do. The school is very diverse and it allows you to explore many different cultures. I do believe the school could improve by listening to its students more often and provide more assistance to students.

Very good college preparatory K-12 school. As of the time I am posting this review, it is K-11 but they will be adding another grade level (12) as of next year. The testing is very frequent to ensure students have mastered concepts and identify what students need extra help on. The pacing is very quick paced, but study groups, peer tutoring, etc. are offered.

I have found that many parents with children requiring special education services have had to remove the...
