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.

From a pure academic standpoint it's a great school. You can have pretty much a full year of college done through dual enrollment. The culture around the school would ideally change to be a better environment.

the students are mean, lately the admin has been falling apart, some teachers are very nice though. they need to get it together. extremely cliquey as well. not a welcoming atmosphere.
3.0 Senior

Solid high school experience. The classes are okay. Not a huge selection as far as rigor. Some of the teachers are great, others are a little worse. The administration doesn't do a good job at listening to the student body. Confederate flag kids run rampant. The sports are okay unless you want to play football in which case we suck. At least Dunkin' Donuts is only 3 miles away.
