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.

The school for human right was a very cultural school a home away from home. But to make it better it should've been more uniting and should've found more ways to make school a more fun place that everyone would want to come to on a daily.

Before graduating from middle school, I've applied to a total of 12 high schools and SHR was the only school to accept me and give me a second chance to prove myself. Middle school did not go so well for me due to my lack of English but I've come a long way at SHR. The teachers there have helped me a lot throughout the way. They've given me as much help as they could. And now here I am, one of the top student at school.
