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.

Almost all the teachers a amazing and are great at teaching their subject. However there is probably 1 or 2 teachers that aren't that great which I feel is common in every school.

The school has been through many changes throughout my 4 years of being in the school. The school is not a horrible school, but it's not great either. There are always changes that can be made to improve the school system, and hopefully changes are made before I graduate college.

One star because it really isn't diverse in anyway. Academically or racially. I repeat the same classes every year and there really isn't anything to challenge me intellectually.
