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 teachers and clubs are very good, but the school culture is horrible. The fine arts are great, but not really supported or funded.

Being located in the Valley, the majority of the students are Latino which I really enjoy. I like being surrounded with people from the same background as me. Although it is not very competitive academically, there are a lot of talented hard working students. When it comes to sports, the talent and work ethic is there. The athletes strive to be the best they can.

This school has awesome teachers,and a strong curriculum. It offers many opportunities for the students to get academic tutoring and college hours; however too many students are allowed to walk around the hallways. The principal, though knowledgeable has no social skills.
