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.

The school education wise is really nice. The main issues is the lack of after school activities and the food isn't the best.

I like how my school is really big on success and college readiness. I love how the teachers and security staff can automatically build a bond with the students. I would definitely change how family oriented we are. The school seems so divided in certain places.
