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 staff was very friendly and safety is definitely their number one priority. Their education offered is affordable and staff is well educated. The classroom and facilities were clean and nicely laid out.

Things I enjoyed were the sheer number of available AP courses offered to the students and the enormous overwhelming success of those who took the AP tests. The teachers were overall pleasant and the environment/extracurriculars charming. Something I would change would probably be the school spirit, there just seemed to be a lack of gusto and it was more fun to berrate the school than to boost it up despite it being a very adequate and well-designed high school

I may even go so far as to say the school would have been perfect if it weren't f...
