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 feel offers a mixed academic experience with some strong programs and areas for improvement. there are alot dedicated teachers who genuinely care about student success and the school strives to provide a supportive environment. However, resources can be limited, which sometimes affects extracurricular activities and academic offerings. The sports teams and certain clubs foster school spirit, but some students feel that there could be more diverse options for creative and career-focused programs.
