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 school is pretty small, which is good for people who want one-on-one time with their teachers. Everyone is really supportive and always there when you need them. The teachers there feel more like friends and family rather than people who just want to get paid and get their day over with. Because our school is fairly new, we do not have access to resources other schools do have. I would like to have more classes to choose from.

Overall, I'd have to say that my experience at STEM has been great. I've gotten to know a lot of teachers personally, and I've gotten to participate in a lot of activities and such. This school is unique because of the close relationships that students and teachers build because it is a very small school compared to others
