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.

Best part of my experience was definitely the Team program offered at my school; I got to go on a lot of day hikes and a few big backpacking trips.

My experience at Drake (now Archie Williams) has been alright. I wouldn't say it's the best school, especially compared to the rest of the district but if you are wanting to get through a public school it'll do it. Admin is not at all efficient and makes poor decisions at times but teachers are nice and will teach you the best they can given what they got. If I could change anything I would want them to be less strict with tutorial classes since it's stupid to have a mandatory class in which if you don't have anything to it becomes an hour and a half of sitting on your phone.

It's hard to put my finger on because all the reviews say Drake is so great! And I agree that the teachers are wonderful and very caring. And the place feels safe which is probably more important than anything else. But I question the academics, at least in the first 2 years. The English and World H...
