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 absolutely love some of the teachers and friends I have met at D.R. Hill Middle School, but I think some teachers just ruin the atmosphere and some teachers just seem burnt out from teaching. I like the honors classes they provide, along with the advanced classes. It's honestly not the safest in my opinion, for example we just had an assistant teacher arrested and charged, theres also a bunch of fights.
