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 have had no issues within attending this high-school, all of the staff are nice and responsive and easy to talk to. This high school is also very encouraging to go for your goals, which some peers sometimes need that push from an educator figure.

The best part of my experience would be the friends I have made throughout the years and some of the teachers and administration, they have been great at helping me stay on track and guide me. I did not really have a worst part, but there are a couple of teachers that just did not seem to want to be there and teach. My favorite teachers really went beyond to what they needed to to help me when I needed it. If I could change anything it would be the culture there, a vast majority of the kids just do not care and the adults do not seem to care that they do not care. Get those kids reinvested in the school and the culture.

Attending this high school was fun. Got to be in the old building for a half of year before it burnt down. I didn't get to attend the newly built high school they have now.

As a previous employee I can say that everything you will read in these reviews is sad, but true.
