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.

I wouldn't say it was the best school, there were really some big flaws to this school, Their new (1-4) grading system is really bad and confusing, most teachers are somewhat biased, the lunch they serve is horrible, and there is little to no diversity in this school,...There have been no new renovations made to the facility in over 30 years,...Byron High School is a lot better.
