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.

The school makes it easy to get out of school and able to pursue higher education. There was not a lot of guidance for the college process though.

The structure was very good and instilled in students order and structure. The dress code made it easy to choose what to wear to school and there was very little discrimination for not wearing a certain brand.
