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.

I feel that the college-like campus with multiple buildings was a nice way to prepare students for what college class style is like. I feel a majority of teachers did their best and enjoyed what they did. The food was one of the major downsides to the school. Also public transportation to and from the school was pretty unreliable.

It is an old boy school, if you are not in certain groups and demographics you tend to suffer and are not able to play sports. Parent coaches need to stop and school personal need to take over all coaching from elementary to high school. Schools need to be held accountable for communication with parents. I have enjoyed my time and have had some wonderful experience I would say overall it is a fair to good school system with minor fixes needed.
