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.

The school is good overall. The school helps students prepare for the future such as having specific classes and clubs. As well as having a broad range of clubs for both boys and girls and many clubs that are hands on for students like going on college trips. Teachers also focus on the students safety and grades. There are clubs meant for students to work on schoolwork and tutoring offered. As well as it being diverse with many different types of ethnicities.

Best: gaining life-changing experiences that will stay me for the rest of my life. Worst: drowning in workload from AP classes. Despite, how chaotic high school was for me, I don't think I would change anything about my experience within it because I learned a many important lessons that shaped me to be who I am today, for example, how communication is very important and how I must be able to exercise that tool consistently throughout life. And if I had to change something about my school, it would relate to improving the education and system within it. This is because I think that, at least relating to my high school, it lacked consistency relating to these aspects. Like now that I've exited the school, I've learned that the school has changed the schedule and it's done that a lot, which I think slightly affects the students in some capacity, especially the students who've already been there and have adjusted themselves to the old ways.

It's a good high school, pretty average. There's nothing that's really that bad about this school. I graduated just last year and they gave good classes. My teachers were really great teachers. The staff are helpful when you need them. Overall it's a good school.
