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.

The environment helped me enrich my personality, and academics which in turn pushed me to strive for my goals, and career. The teachers were some of my favorite in the high school.

The teachers in the school are phenominal at helping students with any question they have. All of the faculty is great to work with. The coaches of sports are always people you can look forward to talking to.

GNA is located in a town with low poverty area with not a lot of income. If the school gets money it goes to sports and not much of the arts. Our SAT's scores are not high and many students do not care.

I've been learning the same thing for the past couple years. I'm still learning parts of speech! The students do run the school. We can curse to our teachers and them not do a single thing. They laugh and joke and never do anything. Then when they get mad they give us tests without much practice. An...
