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.

Joppatowne is a good school in terms of diversity and cultural and especially with having Wonder teachers. In all my four years, I loved attending this school and because I made so many amazing friends here and built relations with many others. If you ever needed help, most teachers will help you automatically which is wonderful. The only downside of this school is the school safety and violence but besides from that, it's a good school.

Joppatowne is not a bad school. But I can say that it is getting worse though. When I first started high school., Joppa was not bad and barely had any problems or issues with my class. But as of now the kids are not prepared or not looking forward towards college. A lot of kids end up dropping out or not passing onto the next grade and I don't know if it's because of their ability or what the school is not doing
