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 was a student there from 2020-2024 I found that most if not all the teachers I had while a student were very proficient, kind and upstanding helpful people. I was a part of our theater program, and it was pretty strong as well as our bands were very talented.
