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's a really good school for the most part. Sometimes the administration makes bad decisions for the students, like when they did 1-way hallways, but usually it's good. The teachers are good and the departments are great. I think it'd be nice for them to hang up senior pictures for Fine Arts students as well, and not just the sports kids. I always see the senior football players but where are my seniors in show choir at? Good job cheerleaders but what about the dancers?

almost all of the teachers and adnministrators are super sweet! Most of them truly care about their students. I mostly keep to myself, but there is something for everyone! whether they are interested in art/performance art or career education.
