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 watched a classmate throw a chair at a teacher in the middle of math class. Obviously, teacher had to stop class to call for security or counselling to come help but no one ever showed up and the teacher was left trying to calm him down all by herself while everyone hid in a corner. We couldn't get through a lot of classes with him acting out all the time. Despite him being so violent, he came back to class every day with no suspensions or expulsions. It was really weird. Teacher quit the next year. She was really nice. Then a new one came and she was really weird.
