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.

The teachers are great. The curriculum could be better when it comes to things to be more interesting to the students, though it is powerful in meaning and understanding. The workload can be overwhelming if you do procrastinate. Although if you pace you work and how much you do everyday, you can see that the work load is very manageable.

The school's administration is well organized and manageable. Guidance Counselors are there for students when they are in dire need. Teachers are trust worthy when it comes to helping students, and parents in certain situations.

We have people from different places around the country and around the world here. We had a student that transferred from Asia to come to our school to see what America was like. It was a fun experience for the student as well as others exploring her culture. We have Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, Christians, and students who don't believe in anything. The school is very diverse and racism is never a problem.

You can never spe...
