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.

i liked that you could do whatever you wanted & people didn't judge you over it. everyone was friendly although there were some people that just weren't it. besides the school food another thing i would change is the lack of school spirit, it honestly sucks. there is somewhat diversity.
