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 is definitely lacking in some part which I think I can fix. For example maybe we can start a music club or start clubs that actually help kids.

Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter High School is an overall good school. The teachers and other faculty members are amazing with the students and their variation of clubs/organizations cater to majority of the students enrolled there. The diversity is mostly black and hispanic students with an approximately 10% of the population being caucasian. The curriculum helped me prepare for college and they even provide college level programs. I love my experience at PE&T and I would 100% recommend.
