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.

The school is very "who you know" or "what your name is" type of school. But the administration is so very friendly and always willing to help out. Some of the teachers are amazing and make school enjoyable while some think they are animals.

My son has had an amazing experience here. My wife and I have both worked in education, and have Masters or above. I am not sure why people say the school is so bad. Be sure to have them in advanced courses if possible, I am sure that is part of the difference.
