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 feel that my school is... i don't know how to put it.. but you can get away with a lot of things. kids don't really care about their education well not really kids but more as of like teachers not knowing how to teach or making teacher fun or interesting like some teachers just talk a lot or just get straight to the point where as some students would love for it to be broken down or more as it to be a interesting topic or being taught / demonstrated as an interesting topic. he has some students that bring him vapes and smoking his bathroom. Most of the time they get away with it some people even drink alcohol at school like you wouldn't noticed unless you smelled it heavy on the breath, but some people carry them in water bottles and all that and I'm not saying it so they get detectors and dogs to come snoop our school but just look outI'd say be more cautious of things. and sports some people play in their academics are horrible.. so yeah think about that more

One of the best parts is most of the teachers and staff I've interacted with over the years have really seemed to care about their students future and show a willingness to help. One of the worst parts is the amount of students that seem not to care for their own education or others.

I believe that this school could be a great school but as of right now I believe that a lot of things have to change such as school spirit and activities to involve the student in the school more

At least for me, mine never cared or prioritized the students needs and constantly degraded and made me feel like I was unimportant. There have been numerous occasions were I felt so low af...

I went to this school way back in 2001 and finally got out in 2005. From my experience, and from the gossip still being said about it today, it's a pretty terrible school. There were great teachers there, especially my Science and Math teachers. But in the majority of my classes, all the teachers di...

Part I-Part I- I am a parent whose children attend this school. My children have attended schools all over the world due to the military. I am highly disappointed with this high school and wish the government would build a school on post so that children do not have to be subjected to the poor quali...
