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 a great school, great services for IEP kids. Nice building, feels more like a community college campus rather than a high school building. Academically speaking the teachers are helpful in preparing students for education beyond high school.

The performing arts and women's sports have been great. There are many opportunities to get involved in the community. I would like to see more emphasis on math and science education for students.

Do not have your student attend here run fast from this school, the students and their parents have no rights if they file a complaint against school, school and district won't even discuss in person problems that happen. Principle and administration blows you off, your student is only a dollar sign...
