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 that the teachers are very hard working. Since my school is a Title One school, the teachers invest a lot in the students, since not everyone has someone at home pushing them to do their best. The one thing I would change is how we address behavior. Behavior is not as big as an issue since we have a new principal this year. But their are still some issues. When one person breaks a major rule. The whole school is punished. If the principal sees several people with their shirts not tucked in, he will not let us have a jeans day or dress down day on Friday.
