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.

At Snider there are many good teachers, but the downside is that they're all being pushed out. Leaving and hiring mediocre teachers that give student easy As and don't even teach.

The best part of my years was my time in the music department, due to the feeling of it being like a family and not a bunch of individuals. The only bad part was the lack of resources for the program and i wish they were able to have more resources into the program.
