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.

Current Administration is not favored at Cross Country. The principal is a man who would rather bully you into doing something than to just ask nicely. He doesn't get along with his staff too well either. There is no guidance counselor, the office staff is very respectful to who ever comes in the building. Everyone can come together in the end for the good of the children, it just takes a while to get there.

Some of us parents are shocked at what he says in his morning assembly and on the intercom. He needs to be observed by someone fro...
