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.

Best elective offerings in the State. Gives my children a chance to experience actual life learning like cooking and real industrial arts! Things that most districts dropped to replace with computers. Kids actually apply the knowledge taught in academics. Take advantage of the specialized electives....
