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 like that the communication with staff, some things i would like to see changes in would be the communication with teachers, enforcing tutoring when student is failing or on the verge of failing. ive good experiences with how some teachers create great relationships with their students.i love the resources garcia offers. The way the staff engages with parents on whats going on with the school or their student
