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.

I attended from 1957 to 1963. To read these sad reviews is hurtful. Who keeps the administration in check? Parents, they work for you and your children. Do something, say something to district 26. Don't accept the mediocre mindset. Your children must succeed.
