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 parts are the school community, everyone seems to be connected through sports and different clubs because they are avaliable for everyone. I also enjoy the wide variety of elective subjects they provide, tech through woodshop.

The staff is amazing and our traditions made my experience great! I wish there were less regulations on dress codes.

This school had a pretty decent offering of different pathways, like photography and engineering, and even a pretty good AP roster. However, there is a student body here is is extremely uninterested in a lot of their classes. If you have the motivation, you can get a lot out of your education here, but a lot can't find that motivation.

He seems to want to see the kids succeed. At this school there is a real feeling of belonging. AP teachers are incredibly impres...
