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 loved the fact that teachers seem to genuinely care about me. I also like how it's fairly easy to be involved in sports, the arts, and other organizations all at the same time. I wish that we had more classes that prepared us for the "real" world, but it's still okay. If I could do it all over, I think I would still come back and do the best I could here.
