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.

Commitment has been a problem in the past for football, marching band is always amazing. Most people who start a sport stick with it. Lots of students participate in extracurriculars here.

I've always had good experiences with my teachers. They genuinely care about the students and will do anything and everything to help them succeed academically, and just in life in general.

We are more than just a school, but we are a community. When something really good happens to a student or faculty member, or something really bad happens, the whole school is there for them. It's something pretty special.
