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.

if you have any other choice at ALL to send you kids elsewhere, do. this school is a disgrace to Shoemaker's name and honor.

Shoemaker is more about test scores than actually caring about their students. When student complains about teachers who have made them feel extremely uncomfortable the APs turn it around on them. The principal switches up how they feel about dress code and doesn't makes school fun and a active learning environment it feels more like prison than a school.
