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 overall atmosphere and diversity of the school are quite spectacular to me. I also love the grade 6-12 and early college benefits. I can meet and stick with people for a while. Although the main campus is only decent to me, I really enjoy the freedom and atmosphere of being on a college campus and getting an early college education to better prepare myself.

I would like to be more challenged in my academic classes. The teachers are great, but they have to meet the needs of all ability levels, so the upper level students are not challenged as they should be.

The small classes helps students to interact and learn from each other. The teacher to student ratio is also small which facilitate great learning.

We love the smaller class size and the personal attention the boys get. My son has done much better in this environment than he did at his traditional elementary school. We are very happy here.
