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.

It's a good school I just wish they did more. They have good sports programs and opportunities. They have a lot of Music and arts programs too.

The school doesn't offer accommodations for students suffering with anxiety during testing. Some teachers are also very harsh with words. The pottery teacher told my daughter that her 10-month-old can do better, and she needs to wash her hands more, so she doesn't get sick when she had a stomach bug. she did come back the following day and apologized for her choice of words.

As high school has progressed, it truly has gotten worse. I am a fine arts kid, and I love to seem my administration support our programs. Administration has changed, and with that, the fine arts have been dismissed. It's really upsetting to see this. I love the people in my school, but it's been so difficult to do what I love in this environment.
