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.

What I liked about this school was that they had college level classes that I was able to take and transfer over to my college.

Some teachers are very good at their jobs and try to help out the best they can . Some teachers don't really care about the students at all

The best experience that I've had a school, is in my Allied Health Science class. Every Tuseday we go to clinicals at different doctor offices and hospitals. We get to interact with the patients as well as get hands on experience in the medical field.
