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.

I'm not fond of this school—too much stereotypical delinquent-encouraged behavior. The teachers are horrible and do not care about your child's education. Consider a different school if you have a work schedule that keeps you from helping your child stay on their homework. Their program makes it easy for your child to say they did their homework and didn't do it.

If your child has a mental disability such as ADHD, they consider your kid to "not be college material" and tell you that they have other options for "those" kids. I was told in an I.E.P. meeting that my ch...
