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 decent school but there are a bunch of racists even if they don't realize but a club/group i like is msp which is a minority scholars program which is around the county but its to fight the racial injustice in the county. And the teachers a kind for the most part that i've had but there are many flaws too

The students at this school are horrible. Probably racist and homophobic too. Some of the teachers there don’t even care. They also have no respect for the students.

This school has a toxic, fighting/bullying problem. This is not a safe environment to send your child to, especially being a girl. Switched schools and the difference was major, socially and academically my child has thrived in her new school. I’m glad I got my child out of there.
