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.

A traumatizing experience for our child, who had previously loved school before attending here. In my opinion, Robert Down is not up to date on best practices for learning differences and special needs. There was no bullying from students, however -- they were kind and welcoming.
