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 currently attend this school and it's pretty good. They've improved a lot of things. The food is very diverse and there's always something for everyone a little pricey at 2.85 but there's reduces and free lunches to help those in need. They have a 3 step plan and a credit system to ensure you're ready for college. They also have systems if you don't wanna go to college or wanna go to the military it's quite nice. The staff it pretty good ofc there's a few bad ones but over all its good. The higher education is also quite nice I'm in honors English. There's also not a lot of bullying or at least I really don't receive any. The community is quite nice as well and there's a lot of different clubs and sports to do. The language department is lacking though mind you kids usually only wanna take ASL(I'm in there it's amazing I love that class) and then they also have Spanish. They also have the learning center for anything you can think of and their adding more soon. I'm getting my CNA.

Very little diversity. It's pretty easy to find your niche and friends within the school. However, the school is constantly under repairs.

I am proud to be part of this school. We have great students and a staff that is good but wants to be better. I would only give a 4/5 because I want us as a staff to continue to grow for our kids.

The teachers at this school are extremely dedicated and care about students. Students are respectful and most of them are quite dedicated. Students that have graduated and gone on to college are well prepared.

Terrible High School. I have had four kids and several foster kids through this high school. Poor leadership, "going through the motions" culture, more interest in status and "cool stuff" other than making the changes needed.Want to see the difference? Take a look at Riverview Middle School in the s...

Just being honest.. I would never send my children to this school. The size of the school allows it to have a big varity of classes to take, but it's not worth it. The language you hear in the hallways is rediculous. Half the students are 'pot heads' and it's all you here about, since they allow it,...
