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.

It's been a fun high-school to go to, however I've had problems with at least one or two teachers each year. The Faculty / Administration doesn't like to take student complaints that well, even though they like to say they do. The school work sometimes is way to much to complete in one day (ehem geometry, 6 pages front and back in one night by 9 Pm), but overall not the worst I've seen.
