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.

Suprisingly diverse; no student is singled out or discriminated against on a large scale, small scale discrimination is a bit of an issue, though. Prepares students well for college and informs them of scholarships; great counselors. All students are supplied with personal laptops Everything else is pretty much average.

This school is average and kinda sucks. The food is awful and the students are very disrespectful. Nobody respects authority and there are no consequences for it. The administration is trying to correct things but are getting no where with it.

Our school is full of nicotine and drug addicts. I am going to be a senior and all I have seen done about behavior is girls getting dress coded. Nobody cares about the student's personal hygiene. When it comes to inappropriate pictures getting spread around nothing happens. Our SRO just sits there and acts like he is trying to fix the problem.
