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.

The main issue with the school is not their education system but the physical infrastructure of the school right now.

It was a very large school which had big pros and cons because of this. There's a lot of people so you will definitely find people to be friends with. However there's also a lot of horrible people there, homophobic, racists, trans phobic, sexist people. Just try and stick with your group and you'll be fine. The teachers were mostly good as well, you'll get the occasional bad apple but over all really caring and understanding.

School/teachers play favorites. They make little things into big deals and big issues swept under the rug.
