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 school is okay as a whole. Teachers can be hit or miss. I don't like how some teachers can act like they're annoyed with a student when the student is new and doesn't know how some of the software works. I also don't understand why they don't encourage writing notes online as it can be useful for college. They should also certain freedoms like that and focus on getting student college ready, especially juniors and seniors.

I hated how the administration was so rude and tried to scare the students into behaving. Even simple things that could be told politely need to be told aggressively. It makes going to school miserable. Along with this the school is so hypocritical. For example, our disciplinary administrators sons never go to class yet she gives students ISS many times a day for the very same thing.

It is much better than the school I used to study in, back in India. I like this place a lot. I have a lot of friends, and I feel valued, by my teachers, and the faculty.

This school is run like a factory with an administration that is all talk and little to no action. There is a serious shortage of qualified teachers and not to mention a morale issue. If you have a student in the exceptional child program, it’s a disaster - severely understaffed and teachers are not...
