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 experience at my high school is like any other black female's would be at a predominantly white high school. I am treated differently based on skin color because white is the beauty standard. I am called slurs and hear them said by people who have earned no right to say them on a daily basis. I always have to look over my shoulder and present myself in the correct way in fear that I may be punished if not doing so. I cannot react but only overreact because when I do I am perceived as "ghetto" by my teachers and peers. I don't fit in with the white people because I am "too black" yet I don't fit in with the black people because I am "too white." Going to school at a predominantly white high school is challenging yet I have learned to grow and become stronger despite my trials. I will not allow myself to be put inside a box or repress my true self. Instead I will stay true to me no matter who may pass glances or give looks.
