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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I had a really amazing time attending the John Dickinson school. The teachers were wonderful and open to talk to and the staff were always helpful. The students of John Dickinson were the most wonderful people I have met and I have made long time friends being at that school.

I honestly feel sorry for the teachers because the kids give them no respect and they are just trying to do their...
