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.

I enjoy the many academic opportunities and extracurriculars we are offered as students. Sometimes I feel pressured to participate in many different things when I am not suited to take on so many tasks. I would like to see greater student involvement in the way things are run, as well as more college readiness programs.
