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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I've had a somewhat good experience. The counselors here, most specifically the one i was assigned with is not the most helpful, even called me lazy once for not wanting to take a class she had chosen for me even though I had enough pressure from my other AP classes. The bathrooms are gross, but the people here are very nice. The science and math teachers I have had are very nice and helpful.
