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.

Overall I've had a very pleasant experience. Most of the teachers seem to genuinely care for their students and provide many learning opportunities. Sometimes I feel like the budget it a little misplaced, with necessities being a lower priorities than comforts.

I have 2 kids currently in the HS. (plus one who has graduated) I have not had any issues with parents or teachers and my children have not had any problems with students.
