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 think this high school is extremely diverse but the one thing that lacks is the way counselers help students get ready for further education.

The high school is a great place to open your eyes to since because of the area around it, we have been described as the ghetto but in reality this school is great for anyone. Although we get affected by the outside in the neighborhood with altercations between people and groups, they keep us fairly safe and reassure we are in no danger.
