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 graduated from forest hill community high school and was a part of the IB program. This school taught me a lot, but also lacked a lot. Many of the teachers were not always primary sources and could not help us right away. Many of the admin were not always respondent and useful, but were nice.
