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.

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.

overall this school is a good school. The academic resources available to us are amazing. the way the building functions and is ran is questionable, not just by me but by my fellow peers and some teachers. I am very grateful we are safe and have talked about and have plans in place is our safety was being jeopardized. When it comes to the overall cirriculum i personally, and many of my peers and teachers, do not necessarily agree with the way we are supposed to learn. underclassmen are required to take college level classes. My schools class of 2024 is not on the same cirriculum like class of 25 and on. as for the enivornment and atmosphere of my school, i am very grateful we are as diverse as we are and excepting of each other, while this is still a high school witht he average teenager I feel very comfortable being in my school with my circle of people i call friends.

Overall I'd say its pretty good now. The scenery is nice and it's pretty safe as well. I really like the colors used for it.

It's a good high school, I could probably go to any teacher and they would help me out. Although I would say they need focus more on their theatre program since it is probably the only thing that wins at that school.

This is definitely not the school to send your athlete to. They have repeatedly hired the same coach for football for 3 years while the football team has lost nearly every single game for 3 years. there athletics department is garbage the students want to participate the families want to participate...

Some of the teachers act like they would rather be working a fast food job than working here. Som expect so much from every single student when In reality, not every student learns the same speed. Some teachers give out so much work and get mad when something isn’t done in time.
