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.

In Mark Keppel High school i find it very education based in terms of the schools academics and could be challenging. If people wanted to go to a school for there sports however, it would not be ideal. I think i would want to see change in the schools overall organization with events and classes with more help offered
