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.

I like High School in The Community. It can have its ups and downs but they have good classes with awsome teachers that care for their student's. Some kids might say that the work is to hard and they just don't want to do it, but when the teachers try to offer themselves for you, you turn your back. That's why when I feel like I need extra help I go to this study group after-school so my teacher can help me with whatever I am struggling with. They also have fun trips and takes us to go look at colleges we might be interested.

This school is completely different from others I have seen in this county. I love that it is a very student-led school because it gives us a lot of opportunities to develop, and expand on our social skills, and leadership skills. The best thing about this school for me is feeling like my voice is heard. The smaller school environment, combined with the kind teachers is really just the cherry on top for me. I don't have anything negative to say about the school, because other than the problems that all schools have, it is the perfect school for me, and I am glad I enrolled here.

I transferred to this high school when I was just entering my second year. Being a sophomore at a new school when everybody already had made their own friends and groups. I felt lonely at first but it wasn't too long until I met a bunch of amazing people and people accepting me for who I am. I feel accepted and understood here and I wouldn't trade it for another.
