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.

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 have nothing bad to say about my school. I like the diversity and the fact that I was able to grow around a bunch of different people. The teachers are normally good and I enjoyed my time there.

The worst part about the school is the poor handling of funds to improve the technology for the kids and many missed opportunities to improve upon their programs to aid kids in advancing their careers earlier.

She is in the class of 2025 (currently a sophomore in the IB program) and absolutely despises it. Most of the classes are reasonably challenging, but her biggest issues w...
