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.

Overall this school is nice and decent. You're welcome to join any type of clubs you want and you are surrounded by a huge support system. If you need some type of help, there are some teachers that can help you around and they also help assist you. The students here are kind and respectful they help bring you up instead of push you down and I'd recommend this school to girls who would want to boost their confidence and feel comfortable and safe in a school environment
