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 how my school is diverse however, I think it's within all high school but I dislike how your appearance defines you.

I am a current teacher that is looking to leave this school. Many of our top teachers and administrators have left or are in the process of leaving because of our principal and her BFF (assistant principal). Apparently our district values gossip, playing favorites, and not following basic rules of p...
