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.

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.

What I loved most about my school was hanging out with my friends during lunch or in the library, playing uno cards. You can borrow any board games or puzzles there or use computers to do work. After publishing a Burmese club with my sister, we got more time to spend after school or connect with new people. I definitely recommend joining clubs or sports teams.

There are quite the students who do all sorts of things in the stair cases during class doing things like smoking and it makes the school smell bad. Overall the students and teachers are nice and good.
