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 very complicated and takes a lot of time to get used to. It's the kind of place where you need to have thick skin but it can be fun at times.

My experience was alright it's gotten better over the years since I started attending. The school takes more pride in their school spirit and there's more events for students to participate in. However these activities are done based on the students performance at the school.
