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 building was falling apart while I went there and had many events take place. I couldn't wait to graduate.

Some teachers were amazing while you have others that just hated their jobs. I feel like my guidance counselor wasn't much help, she told me to apply to college but didn't help with the steps. My psych teacher Mrs Anne Collins was my saving grace. She helped me apply , get my FAFSA done and made sure I knew what I wanted to do. I told her I wanted to become a teacher just like her but she was so caring and I wanted to do the same for the youth who didn't have parents at home helping with this next chapter in life. Unfortunately I didn't finish my program but I am going to nursing school to still help people but in a different way.

I recently graduated from Brockton High this year, and although the school is not perfect, I would not have chosen any other high-school to attend. There are sooooo many resources that can be utilized- especially for struggling teens. One girl that I knew, who really had it hard, was helped by many...
