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.

This school is horrible. I have hated every second of being here. This is a dirty, lowdown school that should be shut down. Most times I think about ending my life because of them.

My problem is that there weren't too many things to do without the student having to be "out there." I kinda wish there was something like a chess club or debate team or something other than student government and Beta Club or sports. What about those kids who don't have a social circle or a specific skill?

The food was nearly always great. There were only healthy options in the vending machines and if you had a sweet tooth you could always buy cookies. If you didn't like the lunch being served that day, you could buy hot wings, occasionally pizza, and of course, salad.
