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.

It sucks. The honors program is pretty decent, but besides that all the kids are woefully undereducated and need to be held back. A few teachers are genuinely good at their jobs and passionate, but the rest are dinosaurs waiting to meet their retirement requirements. If you have to go here, get into the honors program, don't talk to any gossips, and make the most of it I guess.

I was going to this terrible school for one year. Bullying is a huge problem in there and looks like nothing has changed after 18 years.

I heard a kid was drinking from a chocolate milk and it had a wrapper in it. I hear there is one very rude teacher. And I hear the lunches are bad.
