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.

The school is very diverse and rarley ever has a problem with racism.the teachers are good but I wished they helped a bit more when someone has trouble with a subject. The school offers plenty of sports and clubs. I do wish they offered more AP classes and an all in all a more advanced education so students have better chance of getting into a good college.
