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.

My experience there wasn't too bad. Mostly, everyone treated everyone with respect. If there were problems, they were dealt with directly. They do offer a lot of programs that can help students. The sports is good as well. This year, there were about 4 sports that went into leagues so far. The school offers a program where you can get an associates degree while also receiving your high school diploma.

The teacher and staff at the school do their job well and I have learned a lot from them. The only big downside to the school is the other students ,Many of them are just here to talk and have fun fooling around and not to learn.

The efforts by administration and the teachers to help improve the school can definitely be noticed! Classes have been added to the curriculum and academic clubs/teams like DECA have been added as well. Hopefully the improvements will continue and more enriching and challenging courses will be added...
