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.

As a junior, I'm coming up to my last year at my school. I love my school and take great pride in it. We have very dedicated teachers, good school spirit, and a very diverse student body. I have never had any bad experiences at my high school, which I am grateful for. There is really nothing that I would want to see change.

My high school is very small. They don't have a lot of opportunities to visit colleges. I would like to see more to give students more options before submitting applications. They could also improve in options for sports and academic clubs. The best club for me was DECA.

The principals are always involved with the students and try to push them to do the best they can. I will admit SOME of the teachers are pretty crappy, but most of them get involved with the stud...
