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.

It's a good school if your child is great at sports. Other than that, I've never experienced more bullying that hasn't been handled or even confronted with other parents. Maybe 2 or 3 good teachers. Many teachers teach off of quizlet worksheets, cheat and even join in and look past the ignorant raci...
