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.

I had a pretty good experience, but I regret not going all out with applying for scholarships. It is currently too expensive for my parents to pay out of pocket for me. I would like to attend College with no worries about how, where, and when I could pay.
