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.

It's been a great 4 years and don't have anything to complain about. Made a lot of friends and have had a lot of teachers that have helped me a lot.

Quite a few of my friends and I have experienced bullying here and when going to administration with the issue we felt unseen and unheard - the responsible parties essentially received a light scolding since they are athletes and hence 'untouchable'. They should also do something about all the rapists, it's a bit absurd how many of my friends have classes with someone they have been sexually assaulted by.

While it is a good school, it is very restrictive. Unlike most other schools in the district, it has a zero tolerance policy for phones, and also still has the junior paper as a graduation requirement.

The school is rated highly because they care about high test scores. Nothing more. If you have an over achieving child it’s a good school for you. If your child is an average kid they will be tossed aside. Please beware. My kids were, on average, A-/B+ students. This school only cares about students...

I attented this school. From my experience, the teachers I had were not good. You go to class just to copy workbooks and figure out the answers yourself. The teachers did not teach. How can you learn like this?

My experience has differed from others in the site. Maybe only people with poor experiences get on here? Our child has a 504. Counselors have been proactive about ensuring it’s followed. Teachers have been supportive as well. As with any school, not every teacher will be a great fit (& this has been...
