There is no metric for rating the value of a curriculum with a focus on inquiry and student interest in a public school. Nor is there a way to calculate the sense of community or familial atmosphere this school provides its students and staff. If these things were taken into account I’ve no doubt Tarr Academy would be at the top of any list. Close Quote
