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.

We haven't really had any bad experiences here, everything has been pretty good. The only thing that I have a bit of a problem with is the number of students per teacher is pretty high. Also there are many students that English is not even their primary language so it makes it difficult to navigate...
