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.

Not that diverse but the culture is still there. There's a little bit of racism and slurs that go around.

I love my school, and feel like it has always been a welcoming environment from those who love arts, to those who loves sports. Every student is accepted within some part of the school.

My experience is very pleasant with all the school but if I would like it to improve the food offered, the rest is very good.
