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 overall high school experience was good. I had a close set of friends, did well in my classes without stressing out about homework, and had fun without risking my health and safety. My teachers were amazing as well. It started to go downhill during my senior year, but I partly attribute that to the pandemic. From what I've heard, I wouldn't want to be there now, but when I was there I had an enjoyable high school experience.

Multiple girls, individual stories, similar pattern, one common boy. Nothing done. Collins protects predators at the expense of girls.
