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.

It's a pretty good school but lacks school spirit. I think if it had more school pride then it's make the experience much better.

I would like to see a change in the social aspect of high school. School is a social life for many kids/students.

More understanding from adults and more time should be considered to improve the school pride, safety, and overall environment of the school.
