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.

My experience was great, such as they had events to prepare senior students for their next phase in their lives and for their next decision in life. However, there were some parts of my experience that were negative. Such as how during January 10, 21 to the 23; we had severe weather that forced us to stay out of school until further notice. I would like to see that there is a option to login to your own personal emails to check for any new info from any scholarships, work offers, etc. in the school.

The best part of this school is that they l offers vast opportunities to get you ready for the real world. For instance I have already started a bridge program that guarantees my acceptance into nursing school at Gordon State College. I would say the worst part of my high school experience is student involvement. I am very involved when it comes to clubs or activities but because other students are not it takes the excitement and joy from all the things we get to do.

The students are not very welcoming to new students, the staff is good though. The administration and counselors really care about the students and want to see them succeed.
