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 like the school. And the teachers areally extremely nice. However, I am a transfer student from California and they won't give me all of the credits that I have earned making me credit deficit.

For the most part, the school doesn't seem to distribute enough funding to the classroom. Teachers are often left to teach from aged textbooks and with old resources.

Most of the teachers are great and do everything they can to help all students. There are a few teachers that do not, but they are mainly new teachers that do not have much experience yet.
