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.

While attending Verbena High School I have learned a lot and have had a great experience. The teachers there are amazing and will help with anything you need. The principal, vice principal, counselor, and recourse officer are all amazing and willing to help any way they can.
