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 experience in capital has been okay so far. The students are great but a lot of the teachers are awful and neglectful. They have a lot of favoritism and take out their frustration on students.

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.
