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.

The best part would be the teachers. I was in advanced classes and the teachers within them were very dedicated to the students. The worst part I would say are some of the students that don't really care for school. All they do is fight and delay the classes.

School is unaccredited, nobody wants to buy a home in the area, property values are down, taxes are down, revenue is down, school funding is down. Vicious circle. Clean up your act, RG!
