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.

School is very biased. The only upload pictures of people who are popular and they're good-looking. If you're not good looking you or if you're not popular, do not include you to any social media account that will get me. the security guard lets popular people order food but if you're not popular, you can't. You can barely do anything at Palmetto because you have to pay for little thing. It's ridiculous. You have to pay money to take biology and capitalism because it's required over the teachers excellent students are very respectful for the teachers.

Better communicate, guidance between teachers and students. Provide assistance for kids who struggle with taking exams and preparing them for high level education.
