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.

From what I remember the food was pretty average, but salads, veggies, and fruit was served with each meal. I don't remember a whole lot of variety, but there was always enough to eat. I don't know if there was special food for those with special dietary needs such as allergies or religious reasons. We got 30 mins to eat. Seemed pretty decent. Lunch room and kitchen were clean.

They accept students and parents as long as the students and parents treat the teachers and administrators as if they ar...
