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.

Not good if you are not related to staff

Teachers are not required to communicate with parents on child progress. They think that getting a "progress report" qith a grade with no explanation during the six weeks is communicating. The principal states he will not make teachera communicate with parents if they are uncomfortable doing so. The staff also works hard for the children they are related to or the relative of friends. The rest they could care less about.
