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.

I have mixed feelings about my high school Cresskill High School. It is a very small school, which adds a special connection with the teachers and fellow classmates, but at the same time denies many opportunities from students who are motivated to succeed. The school offers only a few AP classes, and the rest must be taken as a self-paced online class. Our teachers are not amazing either, and I often feel unprepared for tests and quizzes.
