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 best thing about this school is that there is always someone who is there to help you no matter what. There is no teacher here that will say no to you and they will always have your back. If you need help they will take time out of their day to help you understand a topic or if you just need life advice.

The teachers are very proficient and excel in their area of teaching. The curriculum is just changing to accommodate the "core curriculum" however has been very good. Teachers are always available to assist students and the workload is very reasonable as teachers also realize the importance of involvement in non-academic area also. Due to the class size students can always be a part of the popular classes. This school excels in allowing students to take college level courses and most seniors graduate high school with about 21 - 27 college credits.
