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 attended summer classes at Welch, but alot of the food in their cafeteria was really horrible and it was all they had. They did not have any other food like they were supposed to. I was not permitted to take my own lunch there just because some crazy letter about summer school at Welch stated that breakfast and lunch would be provided. It was not that hard to learn to ignore a letter like that. The food there needs to be thrown in the trash. The cooks there should have been fired a long time ago. Their dress code needs to change rather they like it or not because I don't think it is not fair to not allow the students to wear shorts, capris, or skirts there.
