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.

Our teachers are always trying to keep us engaged in the classroom lessons. When a teacher looks at our grades and sees that we are struggling, they help that student not only in class but as well as outside class. Our teachers are very approachable and friendly, but can also discipline and keep us in line when needed.

Extracurricular sports opportunities have a high priority with a lot of parents and students. However, the music department and art department offer a lot of extracurricular opportunities as well. The speech students enjoy their activities, but do not have the same following as sports.

School food is school food. It's never amazing, but it better than other schools in the area. I've never had a problem with it before.
