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've had a really dramatic start to my high school career I was bullied a lot in my freshman and sophomore year I became a singer in 9th grade and I was at dickinson high school for part of 9th grade and I was at mckean for the rest of my freshman year and after my sophomore year ended I was at mckean for my junior year and I'm almost done with my senior year.

I really didn't do anything due to the fact I've been working since I was 15 years old and recently gave birth to my 3 month old daughter.

The school will be very easy to graduate from, classes aren't difficult and you'll be given multiple opportunities to make up credits if necessary. This is not the school for a student who wants to be prepared for college.
