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 a really good school because It has IB program and other stuff. But I heard they get rid of CTE program or engineering stuff next year. Thinking about that if you want to do engineering. We have DECA and HOSA which also really famous clubs and other cool one like SkillsUSA or UIL.
