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.

What I liked about this school is that they can give you tutoring if you need to retake the test or if you need help on your homework.What I would want to see changes on are the teachers they should be more committed on teaching the students there.They should also make the staff more committed to there job.
