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.

Carlisle Area High School is a pretty average public school. One of the best things about this school is the great diversity and education opportunities. However, there is a great injustice within the school, such as dress code, microaggressions, etc. I would like to see the school be more inclusive and less prejudiced.
