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.

Many of the teachers will teach lessons that are real life learning experiences. I loved my high school, and not even just the teachers but the whole administration. They all play pretty fair with everyone, and all of us got along with them. If a student didn't get along with a teacher, it was more than likely the student's lack of respect for an adult. Overall, I would rate the teachers a 10/10 because they truly deserve it.
