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.

This school was not too diverse, but this was not really a big deal in my opinion. Everyone is very kind, friendly, engaged, and just the right amount of competitive. I miss it.

A wider range of elective classes in all types of potential college majors. A lot of the electives are focused on STEM type courses. It would be great to see more electives offered in pre med and more on marketing, advertising etc.

My daughter loves her High School! Teachers always find time to connect with the students. As a parent, I wish every High School will adjust it's schedule to have 8:30 AM or 9 AM start. Some not essential classes could be shortened. Our kids NEED to SLEEP more! They will be much more productive!
