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 enjoyed every teacher that taught me at High school for Community Leadership. Every teacher is so helpful and if you aren't doing well they always offer support to make sure you do well in class. The school is conveniently located by a deli so you can get breakfast if you are early and there are buses and trains located very close. I found it easy to get to school really quickly making my experience even better.I joined clubs which were great at the school. The only thing I would do better is advertise clubs to students better since I felt many kids didn't join not because they didn't want to but because many didn't know about the clubs.
