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.

This school is extremely competitive. One B+ gets you kicked out of certain social circles. Toxic environment, bad food, no diversity (all Asian, basically). They allow you to skip lunch in place of academics. All students are miserable here. Send help.

This school is garbage. Students bully others, some teachers are just flat out rude, and most don’t care for the student and don’t support them. If you care about your child, do not bring them here.
