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.

Something that could use some tweaking is our schedule we only have resource 2/5 days a week and that is really stressful considering I do not have a study hall. Furthermore, on our days that we get off "early" we only get off 20 min early and that leaves no time to talk to teacher after school or go to clubs.
