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 overall experience in high school was amazing . The best part was getting to have laughter , joke around while maintaining good grades , being able to attend the fun activities that the school hosts also just being able to see everyone mingle with differences and no drama. The worst part is when the weight just get to heavy to where you feel like you can't pass your tests and your having bad days and just can't focus. What I would like to change is letting people tell me what I can and can't do and just trust myself.
