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.

Alton middle school is a good place for Students to learn at. I think there should be a little more freedom. For an example have phones for activity and at lunchtime every day if you have all work turned in. Also there should be classes for high school credits for the students who may want to graduate early. I also think that teachers need to make our learning a bit interesting so we'll understand it more and there wouldn't be as many problems and homework should be given at least every other day because some students may be busy or very tired after school.

When you walk into the Annex building, the workers look like juvenile corrections officers! If that negativity made that much of an impression on me as an adult, imagine the impact it has on little innocent kids!If you don't like your job just do something else. It is the parents that pay for the sa...
