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.

I like how some teachers cared about students and would do their best to teach us the material, but sometimes the students did not have teachers. For example, the year before my freshman year there was a protest for more uniform options, better teachers, and better food. When the protest was done they were given the option of wearing black pants.
