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.

It's so bad. Particularly for very small children not yet able to fully articulate or explain to parents what they suffer during the schoolday. During past episodes where egregious harm to students is indisputable, staff and administration circle the wagons and protect the worst among them. Political signs on lawns in town boast 'Alton Families Support Teachers'. Alton families that support their children know better.

As a new eighth grader at this school I truly think that this is one of the best schools that I’ve ever moved to.
