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 have been very involved with my school including participating in varsity diving all four years of high school. I love our team spirit and how many friends I have made along the way. Also, I participated in the school Jazz Ensemble for 2 years and got to experience the music and arts offered at Conard. I would like the food in the school to be better, and I would like to see more kids interact with teachers.
