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 got sent to the mental hospital all because I was complaining, this is not okay, just because I got bullied doesn’t mean I have to be the one to go to the hospital, they need to! This school treats the bad kids good and treats the good kids bad! It’s so DUMB!
