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.

I personally find the school to be a great place to build on your talents and make wonderful friends. There are also teacher that are respectful to you and willing to help. The academic is okay but they do have a few things to work on. However, the college readiness seems okay to me.
