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.

This high school was amazing and I am so blessed to have been able to receive my education here. I learned so many important things throughout my years in high school. Of course, like any kid in high school, I got bullied and picked on, but going through all of that made me who I am today and I am so thankful for the experiences I gained. I had the ability to play all sports if I so chose to and be a member in any club that was offered at the high school. I used my talents to share myself with others and was everyone's friend. I grew to be a leader, and also how to take a step back to let others shine their lights as well. I gained some great knowledge which has surely helped me throughout college and has been an influencing factor in getting me to where I am today.

I had a very good math teacher this year. She came back from retirement because we didn't have anyone else. She has been the only good math teacher we have had.

I love my school. I like knowing everyone in the hall ways and learning new things about people everyday. I love my sports teams. We are all very close because its mostly the same people out for most sports. We have been through a lot of changes when we joined but together we have become one school. One thing I would like to see change is how the students and teachers interact. Our school has some disrespectful people who always get away with their attitudes and I do not think that is right.
