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.

I have a love/hate relationship with my school. I know there has to be rules for us to follow, but some rules are too strict to the point that I feel like I have to be so aware. For example, my school is super strict on tardiness. They like to say "if you are tardy, you are failing in life" which I think is so over exaggerated. Yes we need to always be on top of things but being 2 late to class shouldn't be a big deal. Dress code is must I will say but I feel like I have to wear sweatpants and a hoodie everyday just so I don't get dress coded. If someone were to get dress coded, they would get detention and they would have to change in the next 5 minutes. I would to see a change in the dress code. Change it up a bit by letting people wear what most comfortable for them but not to go crazy and just a bikini.
