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.

Difficult administration, constant staffing changes lead to frequent miscommunications. Music and theater departments are fantastic, but there is a huge lack of advanced/AP courses.

Great school but needs improvement. Went here 4 years and seen lots of stuff and wasted lots of time.

Before we used to have flex so we would get an hour lunch to do homework or retake a test. And if we could keep the bathroom doors closed that would feel like have privacy.
