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.

My high school has given my many opportunities both academically, financially and athletically. Dual enrollment through metropolitan community collage has given me a head start into my college education. There is also a strong supportive community of teachers to help me when ever needed. I wish we had more financial help for our fine arts programs.

With a student po...
