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 food isn't that great, but that's all I can really complain about. The teachers are good at what they do and get students involved. They have an amazing basketball and powerlifting program.

This is a really great school, I moved schools in middle school and the transitions was by far the smoothest I have ever experienced. The staff and students truly make you feel at home.
