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 experience with the teachers was one of the most beneficial parts of my high school career, building a bond with them that will never break however the worst parts consisted of bullying and open hate towards minorities, but I could cope with it easier as a result of building relationships with teachers.

I love the opportunity to earn an associates degree in high school through dual enrollment, but the overall school isn't my first choice.

A large percentage of my classmates are very disrespectful of other students AND teachers/administrators. This behavior is tolerated, and no disciplinary action is taken. Not only are there no entrance exams for honors classes, but learning disabled students are being encouraged to enroll.
