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.

My experience in this school is pretty well, you can find different types of courses that can help you to grow up and learned about your future life. I love the sports and the student experience because you can make some many friends from different countries, you can also feel safety here, we have security's that works for us and help us to be safe at the school.
