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.

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 parts of my experience is meeting my best friends and creating a more diverse mindset including friendships and academics. The worst parts of my experience is how rude teenagers can really be. They may not know what goes on in your life, but it won't stop them from bullying if they have a reason to dislike you.
