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.

teachers are amazing!! even though we don't have as much access to materials or funds as other schools, we do the best with what we have :)) administration has been improving throughout my years of attendance, and it's clear that students are cared about here. the middle school is definitely prioritized over the high school, with more clubs, sports, and events. but our high school teachers are supportive and help out a lot with our events and raising school spirits. most teachers are very passionate about what they're teaching, and create exciting learning environments with minimal materials and funding. i don't regret coming to stem, students and teachers here are great. and though i'm sad we don't have much funding, i understand other schools in the district have more pressing issues.

Good overall, just no sports and clubs are low and no funding goes to them. Their teaching is very good and the teachers are very good at teaching their students the way it wants.

This insitution has the best teachers that I have ever met. The only problem is that there are few teachers (10), and so they are a bit stressed with their workloads. This is the only downside of the school, and, although it is a big one, it should not stop you from attending this great high school.

However, there are a few issues of drama since there are a few bullies that occasionally harass yo...

Went here for middle school and it was a pretty alright place, to say the least. The thing with this school is you're always being taught 1 year ahead so if you're a 7th grader you'll be learning 8th-grade math. So it is a must to ask questions here. The teachers were very nice because you could go...
