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.

It's an overall good school, if you want to learn. The other students made it hard to focus and do well, so you really have to be motivated to get anywhere. The demographic of the school is 90% underachievers and the remaining 10% are the honors students who care about their future.
