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.

The band program is phenomenal. They do a great job of everything that they do. The band director, Mr. Teglasi, works great with the students and pushes them to do their best. The students are very talented and work their hardest and love to play music. The beginning band students work their hardest to accomplish their desires and look up to the advanced and jazz band students. Oh... and the rest of the school is great to.
