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.

There are a lot of things going on with my high school. Many people don't like it, but I've had my own experience where I have come to terms with liking it a lot. There have been some downsides, such as the food not being the greatest. But overall, all of the staff members of this school are very kind, and the students relate to them a lot. However, the building could use some windows, as it feels sort of sad. But other than that, there's so much uniqueness to my school. I like it a lot.

I think the staff do the best they can but its the students that make it really diffcult and I also feel like you can tell if the staff have favorites .

It is a great school with many clubs to be a part of. Also the opportunities given such as CEC classes and the sports you can be a part of. The things I didn't enjoy are the block schedules and the time we were released from school but it was still enjoyable.

This school is going through the motions of being a school, but I don't entirely blame them. I know that changes have been made, but they were cosmetic and/ or political changes that merely give the new principal more authority and power. Let's see what he does with it, but my confidence is low.

In all honesty, I did not feel like this was a school, I felt it was more of a hangout where students went to socialize. So many skip school, and would bully you if you did not fit into their standards and the staff would actually reprimand you if you "tattled".

Terrible they allow bullying. They need to take it way more seriously. Not a safe environment at all.
