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.

I've been through a lot of bullying in this school. This has also been true for a lot of other students. Some teachers at this school are very unproductive, too. Most of the teachers I've had at pretty decent. However, on the other hand, there are a few bad teachers. The guidance counselor isn't bad. The thing that bothers me are the lunch times too. It gets weirder and weirder in my grade. It's basically brunch.
