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.

My high school experience was a great one. The teachers and coaches worked so hard to help their students and athletes whenever needed. My teachers and coaches went out of their way to provide me with plenty of opportunities to push myself academically and athletically. They were easy to reach outside of the classroom and were always willing to meet outside of class for extra help.
