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.

My overall experience has been rather average, I've had some wonderful teachers and made a couple of friends, I honestly cant complain its been a nice experience for me, Although I do wish the bathroom policy currently in place was adjusted a bit, since with the new SmartPass system installed it can take a while to actually use the restroom if there's a line, especially if one of them was full, so you would have to go to a farther one, this system isn't much of an actual problem for me but can get rather annoying if the time actually came for me to use it. especially if it were an emergency.

I feel there is still alot that needs to be done about the student culture here, we have constant fights do to us believe that going to a counselor for help doesn't help and we rather do it by ourselves. There's been a-lot of racism, sexism and homophobia that happens during school with the facility that's not dealt with and had been not addressed , the adults protect each other from it but not the students and that needs to be handled .

I never had the best experiences in school. I was always dealing with my mental health through all four years. Classes I was mostly always alone and none of my friends were there but I made new ones as well and adapted. I quit soccer my senior year sadly because of a girl who ruined it for me and my coach who did nothing and let everything she did pass until the day I quit. I wish him the best and the team the best. I worked hard through every class and always tried my best to stay out of trouble.
