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.

The best part is definitely the culture and school spirit. But for the worst...I'd say diversity without a doubt.

I would really like to see more options fro electives, things students can use for their future. Such as automotive classes, nursing prep classes, more options for foreign languages.
