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.

Education is very good and most teachers are great and very memorable (except for two; one was weird and the other didn't teach much). Everything else is pretty much average except for their terrible food. It also isn't very diverse. They also don't have many clubs and have a few sports.

The rooms and spacing is just right for the number of students that go to Rio.

Teachers are generally good, except that some may be a bit boring and may lecture too much to lose the students' attentions.

They are very focused on the overall child, with an understanding culture. The quality of the education is...
