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.

Despite its great reputation, SHS is average at best. If you're in the top 10% of your class/sport, it's great. For everyone else, it's more crowd control than a fully rounded education. We have been sadly disappointed and are joining many others in leaving Central Ramapo as soon as possible.
