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 understand that this school has some budget constraints and some societal challenges, but I am not a fan of how this school tackles these problems. The principal is from the alternative school, and in my opinion, has gone overboard in her attempt to curb the problem. The result has been a stifling...
