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 experience I was very well I was a junior that transferred from a different school, Martin Luther king was a type of school that encourages people to be better and not only involve yourself with ur culture and have fun at school as well with admissions be super helpful with students on classes and senior for our next chapter in our lives. King is the greatest school who allows students to be innovative and creative to be better today but greater tomorrow.
