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.

From my experience, I like That Groton don't have big classes. However, one thing I want to change about it is having more course options.

There are many classes to choose from in the junior and senior years, after state requirements are mostly met by the freshmen and sophomore classes. Sometimes classes conflict because they are only offered one period of the day.
