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 have had such an amazing experience at Stargate, which I first came to in sixth grade. They have a multitude of opportunities available to their students, such as a wide variety of AP courses, many different electives for students to explore their interests, and over 50 clubs. This has allowed me to take classes and join clubs that are relevant to what I want to do in the future, such as being in HOSA, since I want to go into the medical field.
