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 overall review of the villages charter school is that the teachers could be either good or bad but academic they teach are very good. I believe our facilities and sports and afterschool programs are absolutely amazing and rise above the rest of the schools in our district.

I had a great experience. I was in the Fine arts programs which I wish had a little more funding as we didn't have enough funding.

I think the best part of my experience was the college courses I was able to take and the fine arts program. The only problem with the fine arts programs is that they don't get nearly enough funding and so we were very limited in what we could do which was disappointing as a fine arts kid. The worst part of the school was the jail like feel with the new campus they built. It felt very much like the yellow wallpaper story.
