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.

SSIMS is a pretty terrible place- the fact that there are people constantly skipping, fighting, and bomb threats or threats to shoot up the school- it's not even surprising to me anymore. hats not even mentioning all the problems of te school itself, or the subs that are 80 years old and up, or the food- it's really very bad.
