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.

Kid, the teachers are trash, and are racist. Lidoly they suck. They are homophobes and the administration can suck it. The only reason all of it isn't one star is because Mrs Parker, the best science teacher ever, works there.

Overall even though you have your fair share of petty kids there, that doesn't put a damper on the other students who have both amazing minds and even more amazing hearts.
