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.

Some experiences which I find enjoyable are the large variety of courses offered. If I had to choose my "worst" experience, it would be the inconsistent difficult when it comes to some classes.

The school spirit is very high at this school. Most students are academically driven, making it both easy and difficult to excel, as everyone is already decent in some or most subjects. Most teachers are also enthusiastic and helpful, and the different programs like music, arts, and sports are strong.
