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.

We just got a new foot ball field and school, so that helped with a lot of the excellent facilities that were previously mediocre.

I made some really great friends but experienced some bad teachers, so I give an overall rating of "it's okay"
