According to Niche’s website, a site that rates schools around the country, a high ranking indicates that the school is an exceptional academic institution with a diverse set of high-achieving students who rate their experience very highly. The rankings are based on academics, student culture and diversity, and, in some cases, student reviews.

“We are honored to receive this high ranking by Niche,” states Cheryl Jacko, principal. “While our student body has grown to 61 students—from several [additional] culture groups since Niche’s demographic data was gathered—the basic academic excellence and positive, Christian culture of our school remains the same. We are happy to have this help in getting the word out about our school!
