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.

There is a lot of good, yet a lot of things that could be worked on. I selected average because I did not feel a good sense of consistency with teachers and the overall feel of school. Some teachers care and put the work in FOR THE STUDENTS, some teachers put work in to make their scores look better for themselves, some teachers plain don't care and would rather be anywhere else and it shows. But like I said, there is some good as well.
