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.

As a ESL student I really liked how supportive the teachers were with all of us even when sometimes we had a difficult time understanding the directions, but not only them also all of me classmates always helped my whenever I need it. And honestly I don't have nothing negative to say about this school, it was a great experience from start to finish

Our child is a freshman this year and everything so far with school has been great. Teachers have been engaging with both the student and us. Coaches have been great mentors so far emphasizing not just the sport but school work and being good people while representing our community. Most importantly...
