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 like how all of the teachers push the students to try harder and how they make sure you're okay physically mentally and emotionally. The teachers understand our minds and how they work. We are never belittled and seen as less than. To the teachers we are the future and they are preparing us for the future.

It had good teachers that cared about their students and teaching. The students cared about each other ( want others to succeed as well as themselves).
