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.

In almost all of my classes there was 30 kids and one teacher. They never had control of the class and most teachers don't teach they just tell you to read the book and do it on your own. At this point I don't even really know why we need them if they don't do anything. I'm not joking most teachers are doing this flipped classroom thing where you teach yourself. And the teachers walk around the classroom
