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.

I wouldn't say I'm proud to have studied here but the best part of this school are some of the teachers. I feel as I the school should offer more of the classes they'd use to, have the bathrooms open more, help students involve themselves more in the SAT's, ACT's, colleges, and scholarships. I'd also like to see more sports available.
