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 have had nothing but issues. Most teachers are not the issue. The administration and the way that they do not respond to teacher and children needs. Lamar keeps stating how great they are, how much has been done. It was a building update, nothing has changed in the way they manage the dump.
