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.

The best part of my high school experience has been sports, and my friends. I have had an amazing experience with sports, and all of my high school sports teams have had an amazing culture. I have made so many amazing friends throughout my time in school. I have a good academic record, but my school has struggled with hiring good teachers.
