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.

My daughter is going to this school. The bullying is ridiculous, the teachers can't control the students. The special education doesn't talk to the parents. I'm looking for another alternative. My daughter actually asked for homeschooling!!! (She is a social butterfly).
