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.

Soccer and work-based learning programs are very good. Good staff, just not very diverse or having any other sports that have anything going for them

My teacher sympathized with the kid rather than the people he affected by saying what he did. I enjoyed my time here up until that point.

I had so many chances to get involved with sports, clubs, and academics and with so many opportunities unique to the student life of a Knight you can't compare it to anything else. The staff here went above and beyond to prepare me f...
