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.

Essex high school is a college mill, it doesnt fit everyone. With that being said, for those who parents can pay for college, you'll love it.

half of the teachers should burn in hell like one half there are teachers who actually care about learning but then there are those that teach you something once and never again

there was a lot of racism and systemic issues and I feel that it needs to change. I enjoyed the competitive sports
