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.

Honestly great school with involved teachers and well-funded activities. My time there was fun, and I felt supported by the administration.
4.0 Junior

The only thing I would like to see changed is a way that students can find the right teacher for them. Some students tend to struggle with the teachers they are given and their teaching style. Therefore, there is room for growth in that aspect.
