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 school itself is great, but the teachers don't do anything about bad students. It feels like they don't care about the physical school either, students steal sinks, railings, and other property. Kids are constantly smoking. Teachers are great at teaching though.

The new school doesn’t give you time to talk to your classes and so you are always late, it’s not a safe environment for trans students and is very transphobic. Tests are 80% if your grade so it’s impossible to get good grades.
