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.

Overall my high school experience was great. I feel like I balanced taking school serious and also having fun pretty well. The best part of high school was the different classes we had available. I loved taking business related classes at our Tech Center and I also loved Unified PE with the special needs students. If I could change one thing about my high school it would have been togetherness. Majority of students only talked to their social groups and now I find that weird because majority of my friends from college we wouldn't have liked each other in high school.

My school has become a wonderful school. The teachers are great at teaching academics and following through on their instructions. I have yet to find a teacher at my school to be non-honorable. Huge facility with almost all the programs you can think of. We have wonderful coaches and great sport teams, along with huge variety of sport choices.
