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.

In the 5 years that I have gone here, never have I been more comfortable. During my first year there, all of the students and staff were very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The arts teachers are very well trained in what they instruct us on.

Going to Denzel Washington School of the Arts has really helped me getting independence and find something. I'm very passionate about. It has also helped me find a connection in different people I didn't think I would.

It's a great school if you wish to take a future in arts or if you want to pursue something from grades 6-12. You meet all sorts of great people and teachers and famous actors/musicians/dancers etc, and grow with those who will one day become stars themselves.
