Sure you can! [https://www.minkou.jp/](https://www.minkou.jp/)
This ranks all junior and senior high schools in Japan. You can filter by city, prefecture, private, public, etc. See the top ones, see which are the worse. Read the reviews from students and parents.
The one from the 2001 movie “Blue Spring (青い春)” lol
Think a lot depends on the principle and the quality of the teachers. I find now you have more old school traditional Japanese schools, with kids that struggle with English, as opposed to schools with lots of returnees and a more progressive/different style of working.
I personally prefer the traditional style, it would be a shame for Japanese schools to just westernise imo, but it is gradually creeping in-no indoor shoes etc.
I think the closer you get to the central districts the higher the English levels, those kids are harder to keep engaged and seem to give more grief to their English teachers in my experience, but the level is much higher. The old school style seems to produce more innocent kids-depends what you’re looking to teach high or low level..
