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.

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.

In some areas, this high school achieves greatly, while in others, it is severely lacking. In areas such as the performing arts and administration, enthusiastic staff create a welcoming and successful environment. With less committed staff in other areas, as well as under funding, it falls short.

Many options for sports and clubs. Academic offerings range from vocational programs through a partnership with CTEC, honors, and AP courses, etc. New courses piloted regularly and a personal finance course is now required for graduation (which is great!) Administrators do a good job communicating with parents and a safety officer is in the school full time.

I would like to see a change in the graduation requirements, specifically physical education. I would also like a change in the absence policy.
