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.

Tmrw's my last day as an 8th grader so I might as well review the school, y'know? Well, majority of teachers are pretty cool, only reason why people may hate them is 'cause they don't let ppl do whatever, but some teachers SUCK. Food sucks too tbh, I got a PURPLE Philly cheesesteak w/ cold cheese once.. that tasted like the smell of cardboard, but I think it's more a district problem (minus the sometimes cold food, totally the school). People... uhm.. they just straight up ARE HORRIBLE BRO. Some ppl are cool ig but majority are not so just observe them and decide for yourself. Academics are pretty good, school's pretty diverse, you got everyone here ngl (im PR). But yeah that's all I gotta say. If you record fights, we got a decent amount of them but teachers stop them pretty quickly. be warned tho cuz some ppl r so bad (like death/shooting threats, SA, stealing but that might just be a certain person/ppl), ppl have s3x in the bathrooms & do nasty things TO those bathrooms... but enjoy...?

Rodney Thompson was a good school and their teachers were too. The teachers knew students on a personal level and connected with them. Rodney Thompson was really good at sports and usually had a big turn up during tryouts.
