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.

Anyone taking IB classes should receive a cord at graduation. IB classes are harder and more work than AP and for nothing.

As a current senior my overall experience was pretty good. I've made many good memories here and friends. However, my school does lack school sprite but there is a good chunk of students that participate it just depends on the events.

However, I missed out on club opportunities due to time constraints and family reasons. I would like to see reduced homework to allow more personal time.

The teachers here are easily the best part of the experience. They really care about their students. I graduated last year and I still wish I was back. School was the best place for me.
