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.

We have plays, pep rallies, proms etc. We have sports all year round that students can join and feel apart of something more then just being on a team.

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.
