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.

One thing I like about the Harvard jr high is the administration and how they have adjusted throughout the past three years depending on the behavioral issues in our school.

I think this school can improve this problem by hiring good athletic coaches to make our teams better.
