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.

most teachers at lisha kill like to tell on there students so they get detention or get suspended so they don't have to deal with them. Like my friend was just talking to me during class and he got a couple detentions for asking to use a pencil. Like that is really ridiculous.
