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 was just so much pointless drama going on, there were very few higher education courses (AP, Dual Credit, etc.) However I made a lot of friends there and participated in every sport i could and the food was great

I personally participate in the majority of the clubs and organizations in my school. I wish our school had some more, though, for certain possible career interested such as FBLA. Sometimes I feel as if the students not involved in the clubs and organizations think they are a big joke. I wish everyone would take them more seriously.

I love all the teachers at this school, but almost everything else i have a hard time understanding. The two stars I am giving is from the teachers alone.
