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.

I enjoyed my high school experience. The staff really cared about students, many alums worked at the school. The sports programs were great. There was access to college prep but no toxic pressure. The electives were nice.

Some of the more long term teachers there are really great, but the other half is new teachers who don't know how to teach. Leadership is pretty bad, no one does anything in that class. Most AP classes have good teachers though that prepare you well.
