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.

Overall in John Adams it was definitely an experience that you will not forget. With the sports and teachers and classmates who soon become your friends or family, is what made it special. Yes people say that my school is bad, but if you stay out of trouble, and just try to get along in a way it can help. That doesn't mean let people walk all over you but more address those situations is the best of ways. Sports is definitely one of the best things that I have done in my three years of high school, it taught me a lot, and everyone I played with has became my family, and I will truly miss them after I graduate.
