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 met some of the best teachers at Scottsdale Prep and I thought the level of academics prepared me well for college. However, I felt the administration ran the school in a poor manner and didn't listen to complaints from both staff and students. In addition, the opportunities outside of academics such as duel enrollment, AP classes, volunteering, and clubs were not encouraged at all and hard to find.

I really enjoy how small the school is because it makes it easier to make friends and closer connections with everyone. It also provides students the chance to build relationships with their teachers and have more chances to get into tutoring. The school itself is traditional and focuses on paper rather than electronics which is another thing I really like about the school.
