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 staff are amazing, they have been very helpful and supportive in my studies and decisions. It is a sizable school, although quite small compared to others in cities, meaning there are less clubs and opportunities. But the school has nonetheless provided me with a decent education.

What I liked is that the band class is amazing, we got to go to various trips in state. I also liked the fact that they have a swimming class, which showed me how to swim.
