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.

Ben c rain high school is a great school. Many may think otherwise because of the location, but I've had an amazing time while attending. While attending rain I've gotten opportunities to meet new people, communicate wit different colleges, and participate in airbus and get offered a job right after I graduated. Sending your kid to ben c rain high school would be one of the best decisions you could ever make.
