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.

My experience at Hill-Freedman World Academy was not bad it was great because I was able to meet people that could trust and I could also have a positive connection with my teachers and staff. I also have great communication with the principal of the school and has given me opportunities to show my hidden talents.

From my experience at Hill-Freedman, it's an excellent school academically. The teachers are very nice and understanding and always try to make you feel included.
