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.

During my time at svms the teachers weren't concerned for you for the most part they just wanted to make themselves good. I remember one teacher actually stopped one day to ask if I was okay because I had a drop in my grades. The teacher then continued to make sure I was ok whenever I looked like i was having a bad day or was being bullied. Svms is a good school but the teachers like in most schools are oblivious or don't care about their students. They wouldn't care if you dropped out or stayed in school. They just want the money in most cases.
