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.

Counselors are ineffective and even tell parents and students they do not need to go to college when they should be encouraging instead of discouraging. Interim administration is weak and has history of backing teachers without listening to issues created by teachers. Teachers have created a very ne...
