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 would say the best is the atmosphere that the teachers create in the school. I would like if they changed the way the bathrooms are managed, because I know the kids make it hard to control, but they could look the kids that need to be watched, and take more actions against fights at school, if the teachers feel that a fight might occur they should contact the office.

Charles E. Shea High School helped me to come out of my shell. I moved to the school in November of my sophomore year. In Shea I felt part of the school compared to my other school. This made me want to join more activities and clubs at the school.

I really dislike this school. The staff are horrible and never try to do their job, they avoid me when I have questions, and are constantly rude and play favorites. They don't respect the students at ALL.
