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 its overall a pretty good school, just a ton of issues with students and staff. Most teachers dont care about the students and are just trying to get a pay check. You can tell this is true because of their lack of teaching and how much they dont care about the kids grades, let alone the horrid test scores. The food is horrible as well, but its a public school so you cant expect much.

I would rate my experience at this school 1/5 stars. This is because I have forcibly made my own positive experience in spite of the ineffectiveness of a majority of the staff. The only good thing that I got out of going to George Ranch was a few friends and a few AP credits.
