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.

Kids are immature, teachers are accommodating, and although the curriculum is not challenging, it gets me the credits I need to graduate.

Food is food, and when most people are hungry they will eat anything. I am a very picky eater, and most of the options offered to not accommodate my needs,; there are never any plain sandwiches, without condiments on them, etc, and most of the food offered is highly processed. The salad bar is nice, however there should be more offered because they run out of things too fast.
