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.

This high school is not very diverse. It's high school building is old and not very pleasant; however they are building a new building for the high school soon. The middle school has a very nice facility. The education is pretty good, but the resources for STEM students are on a small scale or limited.
