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 school is excellent. It has all the components from academics to sports, it lacks nothing. The teachers are so helpful and they would go to any extent in making students successful. The teachers and students are not racist and in their eyes, all the students are equal. Not only do they teach kids the actual material, but they teach them discipline and honesty. In that case, I still miss my teachers and friends and I hope they are successful with their motives.
