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.

We had a lot of student diversity when it comes to race. Also, there wasn't a lot of sports but a lot of the student were involved in the sports and the clubs. I believe that the acceptance is great I remember seeing new students and finding friends right away and feeling welcome.
