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.

Overall, a nice school with knowledgeable teachers. It would be helpful if more information was available about activities like clubs and sports.

Covid definitely change a lot of things at this school. But over the years I created great friendships and a sense of self through my music and swimming careers. I enjoyed how involved I could get with different activities and was surrounded with different groups of people. One thing I would like to see change is the school spirit it has 100% died off the past few years. I would love to see different school implementations and bring the students together and getting people involved
