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 went to John Muir when I was in 6th grade, I transferred since I moved into that area. From what I know, it was an average school. My teachers were nice, and the academic was good. My little brother went as well and he enjoyed it. I think it's starting to get a little bit out of hand, and we need more restrictions. The safety is going down as well. Overall, it's a decent school to go to, just a little tweak here and there would bring it up a notch

The teachers stand there and watch. 2) when the kids are being bullied it...
