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.

Academically my school is competitive and challenging. My teachers for the most part are all willing to make connections with students which I find valuable. We are currently renovating so things are about to change for the better in terms of our buildings and facilities, which we were in desperate need of. I am looking forward to a new and clean learning environment.

For any student to be successful, they need the support of both parents and the education system. It is sad to see that there are too many parents now days that simply don't spend the time necessary to ensure that their child has the full support that they need to succeed. Instead there are too many...
