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.

Administration doesn't care about students. Often when they are having a bad day, it is taken out on the students.
3.0 Sophomore

Some of the best parts include the tight knit community and the supportiveness from the staff members, although some staff members are very hostile and create a lot of frustration for students.
