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.

most students are very racist and homophobic, it is not too dirty but the restrooms smell horrible, they are quite a few good teachers but its pretty chill, thee are searches pretty often because of the drugs, vapes, and juuls, and there are so many fights, and it is very country here, do not recommend.
