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.

There was an overall lack of good, compassionate teachers. The teachers who connected with their students made a huge difference on the student's outlook. It would have been nice to have more teachers who looked out for you.

I loved how inclusive and hands on the teachers were at this school, they truly made time to help students learn and seize their education opportunities. I would like to see more elective options, things the students themselves could get together. It could be clubs or electives that encourage growth in a specific area they hope to pursue after highschool.
