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.

My wife is a teacher at Grissom and they were awarded the top level ranking in Texas for 2010 as being an "Exemplary school". Hopefully Grissom will finally get the credit it deserves as a school that teachers work hard to educate kids.
