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 are some outstanding teachers and some less-than-outstanding ones. I made lasting friends. The school is not very diverse, a downside.

Both me and my brother endured severe bullying here and nothing was done about it by the teachers and/or faculty.
