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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My school isn't perfect but I think its pretty great. There is a lot of things students can get involved with such as clubs, sports, and student organizations. However, sometimes I feel that the parents of the students don't really care whether you behave in school or get good grades or not.

This teacher teaches Chemistry and Physics at our high school. She teaches at a college view point which is very helpful when preparing for college. However, she has a lot of mood swings and no body wants to take her classes. It pretty sad, really.
I rate about 5. I don't like the fact that they push some of the kids thru to force them to graduate earlier due to money, being harassed or not a 3.0 or above student
