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.

The school is safe and everything else is cool about it. Teachers are cool and always eager to help students learn about school or life. One issue I have is about the bathrooms please add some doors to the stall and make sure soap is in the bathrooms. Also I wish clubs were more active. We go to the once every two months which I think is slow and will never be able to get them off the ground and make them do bit things with the clubs.

My best experience is getting to see and feel about me finally being a senior, all the hard work i did to get to point in life. Throughout many years, many teachers have helped me and i'm really thankful for that. My worst experience, i don't think i have one, only when i lost my earring when we went to the senior trip in Florida.

Really this is one of the worst high schools you can attend with their horrible management of students behavior and very bad teaching methods.

I would not recommend anyone send their child to this school! I can not stress that enough the teachers did not ca...
