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.

I love the school, it is an amazing environment. As a senior I have been introduced with a different way of learning and autonomy from this institution.

The beet part of being in this school is the opportunities that you get when it comes to higher education. This school is a really good school if you only want to focus on your education there are many people that are there to help you very friendly and you can make life long friendships here. If you are into sports this is definitely not the school for you. This school can help you graduate high school with over 60 college credit hours.

This school offers a challeging curriculum which is perfect for preparing students for their careers. As a parent I really recommend this school. It's only fault is that it has near to nothing when it comes to extracurricular activities. As for the teachers they are very helpful but some are unfair...
