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.

Nephew and at least one of his friends are being bullied. Nephew has been called a racist slur on multiple occasions. Principal has taken minimal action and no consequences have been issued for the bullies.
