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.

They treat special education students and patents like crap. The more you advocate, the worse teachers make it for your child. Homeschooling as my child was getting no help and this led to depression and anxiety

Staff stress the importance of attendance when they allow students to use rude an horrendous language against students, let the special education students scream words more vulgar than I can say while the teachers do absolutely nothing, and they don't even allow students to bring items such as lunch...

The good teachers get censored and the racist and sexist ones get to control the curriculum. Can’t believe they have a male social studies teacher who won’t teach real history. The rest of their staff are excellent, for the most part. Most kids have special needs and there are no aides in classrooms...
