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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience was good, but I think that many areas in the school could change. I think that the way the education system is set up it does not prepare someone for college. The math program does not teach math in a way that people can learn. The school environment is fun, but I would really like to see the education system be changed into making kids motivated and ready for college.
