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've had a lot of experiences with my school, my favorites would have to be the multiple event and activities that the school holds , from diversity of clubs and powder puff, kindness week, make a wish events, and movie nights. I've also had some bad experiences with the school, but not so much that I would want to switch, I've seen two bad teachers within the school, but overall I love the community.

Capital has a diverse population with diverse kinds of people. Cliques definitely exist and are followed pretty closely (almost like High School Musical), but for the most part we all watch out for each other. Our sports scene is touch and go depending on the year but it will usually get pretty exciting during varsity football or basketball games.

I have had a great time at Capital, the students and teachers are both fun and interesting people that make high school so much better, however I wish that some teachers had better teaching styles as they mostly cause huge amounts of stress on all of the students that attend their classes.

He informed me I had no freedom of speech there and I was simply to blindly follow whatever I was told while I was attending th...
