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.

For a small school I would say that the security is adequate.

There are a good amount of classes offered for the school size; however, they largely focus on Math and Science which seems to be an unfortunate growing trend in America. There is not only not much focus on more practical class topics but there is almost a force by teachers and administrators for students to push harder for more STEM based classes rather than Humanities based classes.

One of the top schools in the area. They have lap tops for all high school students. High School has been newly built with an additional new gym and fitness center. Outstanding teachers that care about their students.
