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.

My school is a small town school and is not diverse at all. Everyone looks the same, talks the same, and is some sort of country folk.

I love how close we are in the school, but my school is extremely biased toward athletics and last names.

Great fans and many involved in multiple sports. It is a smaller school so the sports teams are less intimidating and allow for less experienced people to join in and give it a try. They seem to do well at meets and games though.
