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.

There were only 4 options for sports at the school, partially because of interest, and partially because of funding. The ones that were offered were either coached by a parent (which often caused issues) or a current teacher. They made do with what they could, but often had intramural sports as another option. There weren't any real clubs for after school that I can remember.
