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.

Best: Being able to take college-level courses throughout high school, in which 31 college hour credits transferred successfully to Baylor. Worst: High Schools should offer one or more mental-health/mental-wellness counselors should be readily available on campus for students in need.
