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.

Very small school focused on art and Design. Ap art must be taken for 2 year and they work hard on making the school more academic but some of the teachers aren't qualified for the job.

The school is a very heavy work load school, which means you have to learn to manage your time. The small school environment creates a more close environment with the students and teachers as you are bound to talk to everyone in your grade because you see everyone basically every day. I wish to see the school's environment and classroom safety to grow, especially in terms of fixing the school building and making sure that it is safe for students.

The school has great connections in the industry, great teachers, and great scholarship opportunities. The art and design programs are incredible. Currently half a hallway has been closed for reparations for the past three years and I'm hoping that gets done soon.

The principle of this school does not care about her students. The faculty does not care about their students. A few saving grace teachers actually make the school a success, but that is a very very small few. I would not recommend this school to anyone who cares about their children feeling safe, p...
