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 everyone has a family like relationship here. We rush to defend ourselves when neighboring schools make fun of us, which happens quite often.

They do so much for the kids who are smart and work hard, those who struggle but work hard, and even those who don't work hard. They do more than they should have to for students and use their own money to fund themselves and clubs.
