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 super boring and easy. They have lots of activities but the lunch is nasty and we learn useless things. Right now we are about to write an essay on something we want to learn how to do and then present it to the class. Then again I'm the best in the track classes and I just hate school.

There needs to be more communication to the parents if timing is changing. Add more diverse clubs
