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 like Russel Middle school because it has a great home/Friendly environment. The teachers all show a growth mindset and they teach kids how to get in that habit. I think If I could change Things I would change some of the clothing ideas and bag ideas. In our school we cant have drawstring bags I think that is a terrible idea because if you think about it those bags help with efficiency and being prepared. two things that are good in a school. That is what I think about my school.
