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.

Perfect for those who want to live in a stepford-like town. I would not recommend it. There aren't much sodewalks despite the aging community and not much in affordable housing, hence lack of diversity.

I liked the unity among the student body. Everyone there knew each other and it was easy to make friends. There was always a school activity of some sort to look forward to, whether it was a mixer, a renaissance faire, or just an after school club. I would appreciate it though if the school itself was kept cleaner and in better condition.

In LOJ, they have an advanced math program, so you can virtually go to any class if you pass some tests. that is the same for French and Spanish. The other classes, however, cannot be skipped. They are not really challengin...
