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 school is great. There is nothing to be objected really except for a few lack of AP courses provided in this school. Otherwise, this is a great high school for anyone in the district as it has great courses and great teachers as well who will listen to you.

I liked the school and the teachers but many of the students were unkind. The classes I took were mostly all interesting, but some did not prepare me for my future academics. For example, the short stint of the IMP math program really slowed me down and put me at a disadvantage for the following years.
