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 would like to see more options in terms of academics. There are a limited number of AP classes that you can take and I think students would be more interested in these classes if there were more to choose from.

The school is ok but there are many flaws with it. The administration is ok but it makes many decisions not considering the students. The college academy seems separate from the school not a part of it.
