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.

My experience was good at the school. Over the years i was able to build good relationships with fellow students and teachers. The school offers various after school programs and many different ways you can get involved into the community. Whenever you need help you have multiple counselors that range from academic to mental support for you.

The teachers are very understanding and the classes necessities are very clear from the beginning of the year. The building includes other schools although all schools unite in sports and it is very fun to get closer with teammates even if they do not attend the same school. Some of the students are problematic although there is not much interaction if one decides to pursue honors or AP classes.

While I feel the teachers in this school are rather well educated and care rather dearly about their job, it should be noted that they are faced with a rather limiting challenge. Due to the fact that the majority of student in this school do not care enough for the teachers really to do the job to t...

Honestly i haven't been in this school for very long because I recently change here but it isn't the best school . This school has good courses but you have to search for the opportunities instead of teachers offering them to you and if they do its to their favorites. There isn't enough guidance for...
