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.

Some of the best parts of school is the events since the school has allowed many fun events like a dance and a car show. Also something i like is that most of the teachers are willing to offer and give the help you are looking for. Some bad parts are school fights since in my school its a big problem like many other schools. The change I would like to see if more admin in the halls to prevent fights.
