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.

They scream at the kids in the lunch room, tell them to put a bubble in their mouths when walking outside so they don't make a sound. It's run like a little prison. The lunch room food is reheated prepackaged food. Long pick-up lines. Last year the school was an F, now it's rated a C for some reason.
