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 liked the curriculum and the goal of the school to prepare students for college. I believe there should be a bigger emphasis on real world skills like budgeting, buying your first apartment/home, taxes, etc. Maybe a class on that for 1 marking period. Also, there should be more help for writing (essays, reaching word limit, etc)

Freire Charter School is a very diverse school made for college readiness. During my years at Freire, one of the best parts about the school is that the administration really listened to what the students wanted. For example, when I first arrived at Freire all the students hated the cafeteria food. We advocated as a student body and administration listened and improved the school lunch.

But they also want to know you as a person and not just as a student. The classes are tough because t...
