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.

In addition there is zero policing of ipads - kids run amuck and many of them don't do their work in class, they also have no safety filters - which isn't great for 11 year old kids. We were told there used to be filters but it was too expensive to maintain
