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 love it!! The teachers go above and beyond to help if and when needed. When I moved there I was worried, about how the students and teachers would be, but I've never felt so at home with a school. And the office secretary is always there if I have a question or need to help guide me.

Advantages of a small school (safety, teachers and administrators know the students), as well as the advantages of a city school district (as opposed to being part of county district) (has its own school board and superintendant)
