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.

It is really a 50/50. It depends on what teacher you have. Some of the teachers focus more on the students whose parents are also teachers or the students they are related to. They focus more on the students whose parents contribute to the school. And then have a lack of interest for struggling students and place blame on them. Then there are the teachers who are very perceptive and awknowleding of what goes on in there classroom and treats everyone as equals and give off a good learning experience.

Not only are the teachers at this school bad, the students are even worse. If you are not rich, or your parents are not doctors, lawyers, or farmers, you will not be anything at these schools. I tried everything in my power to be kind and make friends with the cool kids, and all I got was being bullied. I was bullied all through school from the day I started kindergarten, to the day I finished my senior year. Not one teacher/staff member did anything to help me, so my experience at this school was terrible.
