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.

As the years go by Urban Action changes with classes and teachers. New classes get added to help students with college readiness and help students achieve their credits on time. The goal is to make students graduate in the cohorts they came in. As the year pass more AP classes and after school activities took place all we needed was a couple of voice to be heard to get a after school program and a teacher willling to stay.

Amazing a very good useful tool to have. This program alerts me with the new sets of scholarships to apply to. I'm thankful for having this as a tool for college readiness.
