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.

The students are disrespectful. Half of the student body are minorities. The teachers are very strict but they're not the best teachers. I believe the teachers do care about the students and their duty to educate them. To get a quality education here, a student must participate in honor courses. Otherwise nothing really gets taught.
