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.

I transfer here when I was in high school, and I loved the teachers. I felt like I was learning and not just wasting time. I am one of those students that have to study for a couple of hours on each subject to get a good grade. I felt like the teachers here wanted to help and make make sure you understood the content.

The teachers are great and are willing to go the extra mile for the students. We are lacking a guidance counselor, and I believe we need one. I needed some help with classes this year and with college scholarships. I missed out on one scholarship because of a class requirement that I am lacking. I wish someone would have been on top of that to let me know.
