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 problems of this are well known and the school district doesn't care as long as they get their salaries.

We have been here for almost a year and I know why it is rated a 3. I wish there was a school closer to me and I would transfer my daughter there. We moved from a school that was rated a 9 to this and my daughter is suffering because I had to move for work.
