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.

This is a great school, a lot people that my mother went to school with now teach here now. It is a great school and the administration is very caring and care about their students. Our athletics is a great program for students who want to play high school sports.

It was the best years of my life and I loved every moment of it. I made friendships and memories I know will last a lifetime. From sporting events to pep rallies to even just sitting in the library you never felt bored or alone. Everyone makes everyone feel welcomed and happy. I have never seen such a well put together and close community.
