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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The principal called me a liar this year and the AP English teacher called me stupid. I don't feel safe at school. some of the doors don't lock so someone could get in. The only reason the sports are good is because they keep throwing money at the sports teams. The cheerleading team got new pom poms and they don't ever use them. Also the soccer, baseball, softball, and basketball teams get new stuff all the time. Our band director had to buy twenty new stands himself because they wouldn't give him money from the budget. The band and chorus room is also an old shop class garage that for the first time ever is finally getting the floor swept because our principal said it's okay, you don't need to sweep the garage floor. At the end of every year they paint over the dirt.
