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.

It's a great high school for people who care about their futures. There are many teachers that genuinely care about you and your future, and plenty of opportunities to succeed. The music department is one the greatest in the county with lots of resources put into band, choir, and orchestra.
