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.

This school only got it's good reputation because the teachers pratically give you good scores. They give so less homework, and is unfair. They practically take away your freedom of speech. You get in trouble for everything, and the menu rarely changes.

Peterson is pretty good school. The most of teachers are very good except very few. PE workouts are intense for 7th and 8th Grade. In fact i like the workout.Not that easy to make friends because half the people are on their phones.
