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.

No school is perfect! If you find one, don’t go because once you get there, it will no longer be perfect. Teachers are trying their hardest! It’s time for students to be held accountable. Roundtable discussions aren’t working. It’s time for parents to step up and help guide their students to hopeful...
