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.

First of all, their football team sucks. It is depressing to come to every game and watch them lose so badly that it is not even comical. Second, I personally believe this school is not safe. Recently, there has been a weapon brought on campus. The issue was resolved, but the security should be upgraded.
