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 would like for there to be more information about college given to the students. This school claims that they want us to be 'college-ready' and many of the students attending this school are enrolled in ACT online prep. However, students have no idea how to apply for colleges and scholarships and have to reach out to other sources for help. I would like students here to feel encouraged to do well and not just for our ACT scores to go up.
