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 liked how the teachers were engaging in their best ways and how respectful they are. I'd like to see the behavior of most of the students change in a positive way.

A lot of the students skip school and smoke marajuna on Dawson Ln., in an abandoned house that burned down, behind the school. They walk up and down the street and the hisd police just parks there. They need to drive down the streets and see how many are skipping.
