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 best part of my experience is the people and the teachers specifically. All of my teachers are very dedicated to making everyone's education meaningful.

I loved most of my teachers but the other students were sort of passive aggressive a lot of the time. The only thing I have to say is don't take chemistry and just be respectful of staff and you'll be fine, I flew under the radar all four years and most staff that didn't have me as a student didn't even know my name which I prefer. Vaping and fighting have been issues on campus but it's pretty easy to avoid.

If you have a child with autism DO NOT enroll them in this school! The Principal is not disabled child friendly. She will berate children and makes it very evident that she has no understanding or compassion for children with certain disabilities. Instead of having trained teachers that understand a...
