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.

It is a small high school that has a great staff and professors that are willing to help the students. However, it is quite cramp in space because there are almost 800 students in the building, which makes it difficult for students to go to their next class.

Overall I would rate this school a four out of five because of the staff alone. During my junior year I transferred into this school and was welcomed with support. They were able to accommodate me specifically as an individual rather than another student. They were extremely flexible and encouraged me to get involved.

This school has been on the top list of US News and World reports several times. The school population is under 560 students. Hall ways and classrooms are always monitored.
