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.

TOO MUCH TEACHER TURNOVER....this is a bad sign. The principal will hire a good teacher and then fire them! Also, I notice that the students use Roundup as a way to keep weeds from getting out of control. Do the administrators not know that this is a very dangerous, cancer-causing chemical? Shameful...
