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.

It's hard but it's good their are a lot of opportunities that I get that I would not get at other places and it is hard and the classes are difficult but it's the best way to prepare me for college since I have been taking aps since freshman year it is a great school that get a lot of backlash only because if their strict rules if they changed their ways a little them everything would be perfect

Nothing positive to say. Leadership is terrible and bad at communication with students and parents .

The upper leadership (including Eva Moskowitz) uses aggressive verbal force and scare tacti...

Poorly managed affecting mainly students of color which doesn't seem promising for closing achievement gap of a staggering generation. Meet the needs public school can't meet and revamp entire staff, teachers and management.
