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.

There is plenty of support for students who need it and the administration is willing to step in and make the experience as good as it can be. There are students who are not doing their jobs, but no more than many public schools. I feel it prepared both of my children well for college and was small enough for their teachers to know them.

I would like to see more diversity at this school whether that is teachers or more diverse students.

This high school was strong in academics. I was fortunate enough to come into university with 16 transfer credits from Advanced Placement classes, setting me at sophomore standing after just one semester of college.
