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 school has a nice music program in which I have been involved. I have enjoyed my time at the school. The school is not big enough for all of the students who go there. It would be nice if they were to create a new high school or renovate the current one. The teachers are awesome and friendly. They are super helpful which is nice.
