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.

I graduated from this district and I never had any issues. My experience was extremely beneficial to me. I had many educational experiences that were extremely helpful for my development now.

It's the best high school experience you'll ever have. there is so much academic preparation, yet so much fun and excitement throughout it. The clubs and dances that are outside of school, are all run by the faculty and they are amazing. i've known them almost my whole life, and it is such a loving and safe environment.
