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.

Boys and Girls have given the opportunity to succeed. Coming from a private school setting to a public school, it was a new environment, but with the assistance of staff and teachers and the academicfoundation, I am on my way to graduation in a few months. I wouldn't change anything, my experience was excellent and hope many others in years to come do as well.

The school motto and the atmosphere. They always rewarded you on your academics and attendance with a nice ceremony. They were strict with the dresser code for guys and ladies.

While our principal is a great and fearless, leader as a parent this motivates me 100%. My child is a freshman and has a wealth of caring teachers. I look forward to keeping our parents engaged., and helping our principle to bring positive change.
