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 how my school is right now, the culture isn't toxic and is helpful. There are some rules that I don't agree with, but I understand that those rules are in place because of kids and their actions.

My experience isn't bad but isn't the best the councilors are horrible I will say that the teachers and administrators are rude and stuck up the school doesn't allow food or drinks and they don't have the best food so we have to starve all day this school really isn't the best school and I'm moving schools soon

Enforces cultural appropriation during senior dress-up week and all the other dress-up weeks there are. I thought this school was diverse ???Pocahontas was based on a REAL native person named Matoaka. And her story is not the same as disney portrayed, her story was brutal. Not a cute little love sto...

This school is ran like a high security prison. No guidance, no respect, no privlages. No success due to the fact that they treat these kids like criminals. It's the worst school I've ever witnessed. They also charge you for everything. Including pep rallys.
