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.

Some of the greatest teachers, and mentors. I have maintained connections with many of the teachers i had there. A lot of people say middle school is the worst and that they never want to go back, but I honestly wouldn't mind. I met some amazing people there and learned a lot.
