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 transfer to Green Mountain High School during my junior year. In the beginning, it was hard to adjust my new life to the environment. However, with the help of friends and teachers, slowly I started to feel connected to the community and became a part of a larger family.

Admin actively undermines teachers and makes their job harder. They do not keep teachers and students informed about events happening. Students are often left in the dark about events or schedule changes.

I would say 1 star but the sports program makes this better than 1 star. Sports in general is the only reason I came and stayed.
