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 started my first year of high school during the COVID pandemic. Therefore, I was virtual my freshman year. I had to adjust learning from a computer. It was different but I was able to get through. Unfortunately, my high school experience all together was not bad. Although, there has been new rules enforced that I think should be changed.
