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.

All different teams, from volleyball to basketball to football all support one another. They go to each ohters game and cheer sach other on. Coaches are commited to making the athletes the best they can be. The equipment is not as great, but it is good enough to get a good workout in.
