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.

The best part about my experience would have to be the extracurriculars I participated in such as Cross country and track and field. There were a few great teachers as well, like my senior year English teacher. I think I would like to see more diversity and more of a community with the school. It was always so cliquey when I was there so it would be nice to see the school become better as a whole.
