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.

This is a perfect school with very minimal cheating problems. There are some, but they are quickly taken care of by the administration. There are many rules in place to prevent bullying and similar issues. Very competitive environment, which is good to push yourself, and most people from this school go to good colleges.

My experience was very good. I learned a lot from the four years and most importantly I learned that academics is not everything in shaping my success in the future.
