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.

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.

Teachers learn how to teach by the studentts reactions to the project.For an example in math classes the teacher teaches about APR and interest rates.That is usually a project in which majority of the class will pay attention or speed up and finish their projects with high grades.
