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.

As a former student. I made tons of friends but as soon as fifth grade was over we all went to different schools. In school I felt like we never learned anything new like I was sitting there blurting out answers all year. Like um like there was no challenge which would have been nice for me.AG was the worst it was so unfair I was the same as the ag kids even smarter than half of them and always got higher EOG scores but was never put in AG
