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.

While this school and the Illinois school system in general aren't the greatest, especially compared to my previous district, it wasn't a bad school at all. Students were encouraged to participate outside of school, and it was generally really fun - especially the week-long 8th grade field trip to Lorado Taft, everyone's favorite thing about Washington.

Regardless of the lack of talent - it's a "smart" school - sports are still fun to participate in.

In elementary school she felt out of place, but is always commenting on how 'strange' minds think alike there (not that I would...
