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.

Within the last few weeks of school the faculty closed the upstairs bathrooms with a sign on the door that stated that they will not be permitting vaping fighting and alcohol in the upstairs bathrooms but they did not care about the downstairs ones and will not do anything about it. I felt unappreciated and invaluable at their school and promptly moved schools after my first year and will attend my other 3 years at another school.

My freshman year here was desent, the teachers are engaged and help. But going to sophmore year, i have had the worst teachers. When asking for help or just talking to them they would be extremely rude. They even would refuse to help. They only good teachers where the math teachers.

Something I definitely want to see changed is the student involvement with school issues. The student senate and ASB council don't really contribute much to problems within the school because they just aren't allowed to. Assembly's aren't any different every year and we aren't allowed to have our own fun. Our money is used in such a bad way like having our FBLA team go to Disneyland but our venue is not even all that? our hoco was inside the school with no food or drinks with just a dj and decorations?? Barely any diverse school events. Students need to be involved in solving this issue
