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.

If I were to describe my experience at Mainland High school, it would be quite interesting to say the least. I am currently a graduating senior from there with the plans on furthering my education at the Illustrious Howard University. I plan on studying political science to obtain my bachelor's degree. I can confidently say is that Mainland High has Definity prepared me for my college readiness.

It's pretty chill here, until it's not. However, it's never terrible just sometimes, they implement random rules at random points in the year. Teachers here are pretty amazing but there are of course bad apples in every school.
