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.

Great place to send my kids. Many curricular and extra-curricular programs. Teachers/counslor/coaches provide enough challenges for students to improve/grow and are very supportive at every stage. School environment is very safe. Mix culture of ethnicities so students learn to coexist.
