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.

One of the best parts of my experience was the diverse range of clubs and activities, which allowed me to meet new people and develop leadership skills. The teachers in the math department were particularly supportive and always went out of their way to ensure students succeeded.

My overall experience with Doherty has been a fun one. Meeting new people who may be with me for the rest of my life, getting me ready for college, and giving me skills I will use later on in life.
