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.

The number one thing I like about this school is that the teacher will help you one on one if you need it. Weather it would be during lunch break or even after school they are available. I would like this school to offer and have more college classes available to those students have tested high on their ACT, etc.
