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 like that I was able to take 4 IB classes this year. Lots of choices for IB. Also, the location of my high school is perfect, close to the base of a ski resort. It's great because the ski lift comes into our parking lot, so we can ski after school with ease. The athletic programs are really great. I'm in football and I love the team, coaches and how it builds a community.

Teachers are always available for extra help, but you need to approach them about it personally.

Does anyone remember the old PTA, parent-teacher associations. I think they met every other week or maybe once a month. But that allowed for more contact with teachers than 10 minutes per teacher per semester. With a few exceptions, the teachers are more interested in their extracurricular activitie...
