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.

Overall, it's a pretty good school. The biggest issue I have with it is its lack of a wide variety of classes, especially science courses.

I've attended this school since 7th grade, I am now in 12th. The teachers and faculty are compassionate, considerate, and great at what they do. They give each student individual attention and makes sure that the whole class understands before moving on. I've met so many wonderful life-long friends here and my all time favorite teachers. For the type of neighborhood that it is in, it does a great job at fighting the stereotype.

This school is NOT what it appears to be! A lot of the teachers at 223 quit annually because the admin "bullies" them.
