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.

In reality my school is a place where I wish I could see more people and who look like me. In most electives and advanced placement classes, it is common to see most people who are from a higher income class or who are races other than hispanic and black. As a hispanic young woman, sometimes I fear that the future of my school would consist of groups of students that look less like me. I hope that more students who come from marginalized backgrounds, learn to believe in themselves and challenge themselves.

The single biggest problem is the over promising, under performing administrative staff. The real workers--teachers, coaches--get little credit. They are the heroes.

This school is a unique type of evil. I was one of the top students at my old school and in this new one I am struggling just not to fail.
