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.

My experience at Justice High School was a so-so experience to be completely honest. The school itself is not that great as a whole, but there are some standout teachers and classmates that made the experience fun.

I loved Justice. It's a warm and diverse community. Other schools in the area have better athletic teams, but ours have twice the spirit!

It was a classic, generic experience as a student who was on honor roll and a student athlete. There were cliques, there was fun, there was a sense of comfort as we all grew up with each other and got along well but were so different at the same time. It was how you made the experience and so if you went in having fun and with a positive mindset, high school was not that bad.

This year was horrifyingly terrible. Justice was once a great school with phenomenal staff and leadership, but ever since Maria Eck left it has become a toxic monstrosity of a mess from top to bottom. On the daily, 50-70 students roamed the halls like it was no one’s business. Also, toxic jealousy r...
