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 am new here and heard other than Novi and Troy none of the schools near Detroit are good to consider. I see school rating as 3, 4, 5 and yet reviews says excellent. I need to know how to measure the school ratings ? Any parental guidance is appreciated.
