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.

I moved to this school the second week of my sophomore year, at first I was skeptical but that quickly changed. Everyone here is welcoming and friendly, as long as you don't do anything reckless of course. I love it hear, sports and courses are amazing as well
