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.

My experience was Okay but I would like to see more diversity and more education about different types of opportunities and resources for college and after graduation.

Outdated, racist mascot. Tone-deaf staff untrained in handling students who are neurologically divergent or members of the LGBT+ community. Not many resources or extracurricular activities outside of football, cheer-leading, and track & field. My peers and I did not facilitate a culture of bullying which I enjoyed about the school-- there were no deep divides between "cliques" and social groups.

The school is fairly limited ethnic-wise, but there are so many different clubs and organizations that it feels diverse anyway.
