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.

Small school environment with caring teachers. Too much focus on athletics and not enough on cultural engagement and the arts and sciences. Bullying, racism and homophobia common and allowed to happen with little consequence.

I felt that the school overall was a great experience. Teachers and staff are all extremely friendly and all want to see the students succeed, so many resources are provided to help students get set up for post graduation education or positions of employment.

Teachers focus solely on the work rather than the feelings of the students. Workload is often overwhelming. Obviously no coordination between separate departments on anything.

This school is a terrible school. Most of the reviews that you see here are written by a teacher, that is why they have for some odd reason the best word choice.
