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 best part of my school is the involvement with teachers and students always showing you there's support. The worst part of my school is it's a small campus and isn't too big on school spirit where as other big schools are.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if they listened the students when deciding what dress up days we would want and not be so strict and just let the kids have some fun. I would say the worst part was the food and how it would often take a long time to get it leaving you with less time to eat. I would like to see more technical program speakers like the project yes program for those students who are not looking to attend college. I think this would benefit a lot of students mainly male who do not do the best in school already but would be interested in participating in a hands on program that is more suitable to their learning needs.

The staff is fairly respectful and caring for their students, however, sometimes some of their teachers fail to actually prepare the students for college or trade school. There aren't a lot of hands on opportunities for students to discover what they want to do with their life after high school. Nonetheless, the teachers are good at advocating the students and their mental health and creating a safe space for one another.
