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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It's a good school, but the teachers and school lunches could be better. The students are very unfocused and the teachers don't really seem to care that students can't focus, it's kinda like your on your own if you need help. That's not all teachers though some of them really do care about how you understand the lesson and want to help.

Student involvement is slowly declining in some areas due to favoritism and 'politics' between coaches and parents. This is found most places yet gets frustrating for students and parents. Costs of being in sports is rising - not just cost to participate, but of travel uniforms, shoes, etc. as well as parents travel costs. Time invested is sports is sometimes placed more important then students grades. Priorities are not always on education.

We have a new counselor, Tracy, to the high school this year and she is very efficient, friendly, great listener, personable, does not gossip, non threatening and easy to approach. Where for the previous years we did not have that at school. Tracy welcomes all to her office & follows up with students. She also really works at keeping seniors updated on deadlines for scholarships, getting information to their intended colleges and working with the students.
