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.

Due to Simpson's amazing teachers, I was able to get into one of the best magnet schools in Georgia. Everyone there was supportive as well as passionate about the subjects that they taught. I truly enjoyed the student body, the academics, and the resources available.
