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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It's a decent environment but a lot of the teachers don't teach in a way that can be understood. There's only one decent math teacher. They engage in the drama. Students are toxic towards each other. Focused more on sports than anything. Not very much college/ after graduation prep.

Most activities are supported, such as sport teams and debate clubs, but those which are labeled as "controversial" are discriminated against, such as a Student's Right for Life club.
