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.

Some of the best parts revolved around sports. For me if sports weren't relevant to the time then the school itself wasn't that fun. Some of the worst parts were that the school wasn't very supporting of people that they deemed different. They were very narrow minded and this made for a stressful high school experience.
