Ask what activities it actually offers.

Test scores at Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.
