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.

In my school we have mostly have everything we need, while we do have a shortage of teachers our faculty usually have a substitute and school work ready to go. I would like to see more teacher involvement in my school as well as more clubs and volunteer activities to do.
