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.

Ames middle school has a lot of teachers who dont help with problems, like bullying,fighting. The food sticks. mostly because you can always get bacon with your sandwich. If you want pizza you have to get what they have out. If would be really cool if they got taco pizza.
