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 is the worst school ever. never send ur child here unless u want them to hate school. the staff is horrible rude and so disrespectful and are IDIOTS. they cant do their job for the life of them. Guidance where??? go to the guidance and they tell u to leave, the only thing this school cares about is what ur daughter is wearing. i promise going here for 4 years were the worst 4 years or my life

The worst experience i've ever had. i hate this school with my whole heart. The students and staff have the most disgusting attitude. on top of that the administration doesn't care about our future. they will do everything in their power to get u a discipline. caring too much about phones and headphones rather than the teachers not educating properly, the sexual harassment that happens, bullying, vaping etc. i can go on and on about the cons of this school but that would become an essay. you're lucky if you get a teacher that actually teaches. half these kids here don't know how to spell or read. i'm glad to be leaving in may and i will never look back.

The school is a mess mostly. But it could be worse. Almost every week we have non-drill procedures, like a hold in place because a threat might be near. People at this school are always doing dumb things. Their AICE program would be good if it wasnt so hard too.

This school is so much more than the NJROTC program which is also great. They offer a variety of CTE and other educational programs. The staff and faculty care about the students and create an atmosphere of respect.

The deputy that works here is awful. He's constantly having kids Baker Acted and they're sent to mental health facilities for no reason at all and he gets CPS involved as well. He thinks he has the right to tell you how to parent your child. Kids are not allowed to be kids anymore. If they're even a...

The absolute worst high school imaginable. Being a student there actually feels like being in "Mean Girls" or some other comedy movie that portrays typical high school students with all of their worst traits accentuated. Students there suck and so does the staff. Neither of them seem to care.
