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 are mixed feelings about this place from many different people. Students vary as well as teachers but creating close bonds with the right ones helps

Had the best teachers. Got the opportunity to do an "On the Job Training." Was active in the school. Go to take dual credits with great teachers. Felt more than ready for college.

I enjoy the fact you know everyone. I do not walk down the halls and wonder who I just passed. Everyone gets along for the most part, and I enjoy the bonds between everyone. If I had the power to change anything, I'm not sure I would have to use it.
