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.

Good school. Great administration, lots of different diversity, nice campus. Sports coaches could be better and help kids get more recruiting help.

My daughters freshman and sophomore years were not great. She experienced behavior that she had not been exposed to growing up in a charter school. Junior and senior went much better under a new administrator.

The education is pretty good. The school lacks diversity in both students and faculty. Faculty could do better with holding all students to the same standard. The sports teams and music are great.
