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.

I like the fact that they push us to learn and to not give up on what we want in life. They give you many opportunities to explore new things. I wouldn't say you have a lot to choose from for clubs because we don't have many or any at all. They get the seniors prepared on time for college. The AP classes will really help you in the long run.
