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.

The best part of my school experience is how welcoming the teachers are. The teachers always put in effort to teach and actually build connections with students. The worst part of my school experience are the students most of them a disrespectful and don't act like adults. These students tend to act reckless.

Teachers appear to communicate clear expectations about coursework. Campus always seems full of friendly students and doesn't feel like there...
