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 old and crowded and falling apart in places, but I think that's part of its charm in a way--occasional gas leaks and faulty fire alarms included. Most of my teacher interactions have been good. I have a couple I hold grudges against, but then there's those who are my favorite teachers in the world.

Overall the school is just kind of what you would expect with a middle-class school. However, though some of the administration has been helpful, my guidance counselor has been specifically unhelpful throughout the majority of my four years. Other than that, most of the teachers have been kind and energetic and helpful even when I struggled in classes. I have never failed a class, though I have come close.

It is next to a water treatment plant so it can get smelly there. To address the overcrowding they expanded the high school into an elementary building tha...
