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.

The best part about the school was seeingbmy friends and that some of the teachers were willng to helpthe struggling students. The worts part was that the diversity was through the dirt and 80% of the indivuals there, including teachers, were racist. From blackface to waving Trump flags at football games. I woud never step foot there again, not even for a class reunion.
