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 was better before the pandemic & after the pandemic, a new administration was brought to the school. The new administration made the school a horrible environment to learn and just stay in. I was just waiting for the time to hurry up to graduation day.

The school is very good and does help raise men to have a brighter future. It has its ups and downs as well at this very school. Teachers here need more training because most don't know how to teach average size classes. I have had multiple times where I could go 2-3 days without getting my question answer because they are too worried about the kids who act up. This school needs to figure out how to lay down punishment and are afraid to kick kids out. The school gets walked on by many kids who mess around all day getting in the way of other education. I have seen on multiple occasions where students will act up or doing something completely out of line but will be in the classroom the next day. It makes no sense to lie to parents and express how much you guys look at behavior but yet you still let these kids continue to act up because they now that you aren't going to do anything to them. The food recently got better but can still use some work.

My son transferred from Richard Allen to Boys Latin a few years back. I wish he had stayed at Richard Allen. He was beaten and attacked multiple times by kids outside of the school and at the train station. The guidance counselor claimed (and she was constantly targeting him) said he brings stuff on...

The culture of this schools declining. Teachers don't seem to take time to get to know the children they are teaching. Teachers will tell you your child didn't do well on a quiz with no interception or plan to help them do better going forward. Children are expected to reach out out for extra credit...

The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students success. The school prepares the students for college and how to survive in today's society. Great school with good values!
