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.

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 don't have many problems with my school. It's on the poorer side, but we are one of the top schools in the county. There's not much gang life or criminals at our school. I wish it offered my in-person classes and extracurriculars. The coaches and teachers could also be better.

Classes were fairly easy. Teachers did not do much about minority bullying and there was a lot of discrimination and immaturity in the school.

My daughter is looking forward to attending in another year...
