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.

For me it wasn't necessarily bad, and I actually did pretty well for myself at Massena. But I did notice quite a bit of flaws and a good portion of the faculty is immature. Sometimes worse than highschoolers. The fighting is pretty bad too, and the vaping. But I got academics and sports of out the highschool so I can't complain that much.

Most teachers are amazing, faculty is amazing, there are multiple international baccalaureate (ib) classes available and many other college credit classes as well. The sports teams have won state's and sectionals hundreds of times. There is almost every sport choice there. There are atleast 50 clubs that anyone in the school is welcome to participate in. There are many amazing elective courses to take as well.
