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.

Certain teachers don't need to leave the school because there is no accountability in the administration what-so-ever, and not enough parental out-cries for improvement to the "lgsuhsd" school district.

this school encourages bullying, and the teachers don't really care about their work. Very few teachers have a strict curriculum and many bully / harass students.
