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.

Mr. Rad Roach was the best History teacher one will ever have. He changed my life. Now, with a MBA and a recent job offering from a top industrial manufacturer, I can only thank Mr. Roach. He was the one who inspired me the most. Get him if you can.
