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.

the teachers are great if you get the right ones, the people in the office will remember you buy name even if you've only been in there a few times, we don't deal with racism or sexism though we have lots of druggies that are harmless and easy to deny them, the teachers are supportive and will open other options for students who don't understand the work

And the person who said someones feelers must be hurt is probably one of the parents who's child is doing the...
