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.

I would like to see more students get engaged when learning as well as more teachers having more enthusiasm towards trying to get students to want to learn have have a lil fun while doing it. I feel like some teachers are to focus on tryna to get all the information out that they are not properly making sure that their students are actually retaining most of it.

The teachers were great and actually taught through their own knowledge, not through a book, but the book was always an option that they were willing to teach through. The students weren't the best but it didn't discourage the teachers. I didn't participate in many events that when I did they were always fun and appropriate.
