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.

Still allow teachers who are dangerous to students to still work with them, and not pay enough, and I've had negative experiences when it came to help and judgement free assistance for college from administrators

The campus is very nice and creates a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff and faculty on caempus do their best to keep students active and ready to learn. They host many events for students to enjoy and to have as memories. When it comes to learning the teachers are on their best act to make sure the students retain as much information as possible.
