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.

There are so many activities to attend, Safety is a priority, and the faculty overall is very good. We have a variety of great sports teams and different events to attend. Very easy commute to school as-well.

It's mostly great overall, seems to be good for sports (although I don't do any) but is very substantial in the academics sector. Lots of AP options, a huge STEM program, two full years of AP Capstone, most teachers are responsive and helpful, and the atmosphere is overall very good.

I had a great time. I was very engaged with my studies and students and faculty cared about the success of students and the school.The activities offered were super enriching and I think every employee genuinely was committed to fostering the education of the students enrolled. I would wish in the future to see arts initiatives more supported by the school, but even then, they are still highly valued by those involved.

This school has a "top" reputation that is not deserved at all. The AP participation and pass rate helps this school place high in rankings, but that's because this school buses in high-achieving students from other school clusters for their STEM magnet program, and those students have to pass AP Hu...

Probably one the worst experiences of my entire life in a place where I have never felt so UNwelcomed. It nearly ruined my childhood.
