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 like the class size and how the teachers know each student personally and work with them to help them succeed. The band at my school is very small and we are currently without a director. I would like to see more attention given to music education.

embarrassing is the best word to use. Focus on sports, not academics. No accountability regarding behavior issues or academic issues. The staff could care less whether or not the student succeeds in life or in school. Very sad.
