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 find most important subjects like math, science, and language arts to be pretty behind compared to other schools. Even in advanced classes, it's obvious that theres a lot you're missing out on. A lot of the teachers don't really... teach as well. It just feels like you're handed a screen and getting wished good luck. The campus is really pretty and a lot of the faculty are nice though. One extra mention, the counselors talk about student problems to other people... confidentiality where?
