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.

Most of the teachers are very nice. School is heavily under funded. They like to make stupid new rules that everyone ends up not following anyway.

The students here show no respect what so ever, to teachers and peers. We have very little funding for sports, and clubs. College classes rarely count for double credit anymore. The administration does a poor job and dealing with students.
