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.

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.

Poor quality school, both for teachers and students. Financially mismanaged, severely under-enrolled, and very high teacher turnover. Administration has no contact with the students, and stay in their offices all day. No school culture and teacher involvement is highly discouraged. Favoritism is rife. Avoid at all costs. Send your children to Senn or Lakeview instead.

The students have a close relationship with the staff, but there is a lot of favoritism. There's also not enough IB or AP classes. There's just one AP class and that's calculus.

There are a lot of kids who haven't learned to accept others for who they are, and there a lot of kids here who just want to fit in with the crowd.

They have not made it a good experience for me as a parent. My child likes the school but I get a bad vibe everytime I have to talk the faculty and staff. One more year to go though.
