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.

This place may not be for the fancy people but it has very involved teachers and staff who are very helpful and caring towards their students. Starting from the principal to our janitors where ever you look there are people who can help you and no one will ever put you down. As everyone is respectful towards anyone no matter who you are. I've not only learned a lot about our school subjects but also many life lessons. The school also has few opportunities but you will have great chances in pursing these opportunities if you choose to take them as many people will go out of their way to get you these opportunities that are available. Overall this is a great school that anyone can succeed in.

I loved the environment there. Everyone is treated like family and it makes me feel like I am home there. I graduated in 2020, but my past four years there was AMAZING. If I could go back and relive my high school years, I would. I was in cheer for all the years there, and it was an experience I will never be able to get. Nothing can top the school.
