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.

I don't like the way that the teachers are not very nice sometimes. And. There. Is. No. Water. Day. And not enough time to play outside and play with your friends! It's so not fair because the little kids get outside and play with there friends and we don't! It's so not fair to me. The teachers just don't understand that we need a longer time to play outside! They just don't understand why.
