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 did not have much of a high school experience but the little I had was not bad. Of course you have your Bully's every now an again but due to Covid-19 my high school was very limited. But the overall school you have your good and your bad teacher all my teacher where very much the best.
