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.

Most teachers take some time to complete grading and to post them. There were many teachers that would lose assignments of students including mine. Some of the teachers do their best to engage the entire class in the lesson. For the two years that I attended Enka High School, I felt like nobody could really stand out once there was always the repeated group of students to be elected and recognized.
