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.

Lack of Diversity, very conservative but probably moving towards slightly less. Poorer school system yes, however I found this lead me to way more opportunities than larger school systems could dream about. The teachers are able to form strong relationships with students and truly help them. Violence isn't a huge issue I faced here nor is is drugs it was pretty safe.
