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 honestly don't know how or why this school hasn't been completely overhauled. My child was a A-B average student until we moved to this county and was placed in the school system here. I saw previous comments of the grammar used in message contents. Believe me, its used by the teachers there also....
