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.

Changes to the rules would be amazing. Taking phones should be a violation of our rights. It should only be taken from us after a verbal and known warning, then it can be taken. Never should there be a situation where a student's phone is taken before a verbal warning. Bathroom should be freely and readily available to students since using the bathroom should be a human and unalienable right no matter where you are.
