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 loved the friends I made going to Ralston; the people there have so many unique backgrounds, and each person was really friendly and welcoming to someone like me, coming from a smaller school.

I had a very positive experience with good teachers and coaches. However I was also in advanced classes where kids never need punished and on varsity sports were kids were more devoted to the sport. I know other people who have not had a positive experience because they are in grade level classes and the jv or freshman sports teams. Not enough attention is given to those people
