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 connected very well with the teachers, but I did not feel very prepared for college in terms of STEM. I had very little laboratory experience, or higher level science classes, which would have been extremely helpful for my college education.

I think that administration should be more involved and pay more attention to bullying.
