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 culture is toxic. They clearly have no control of the kids. Things get cherry picked and they are just doing the bare minimum. Important things get dismissed like a cover up to all the things going wrong. Academic leaders lack compassion and they act like they are burnt out and have no grip on the issues affecting the children. They are not a good support system for the kids or the parents. The kids are buck wild. Out of control its a shame.
