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.

Overall, my experience is definitely positive. Admin are very knowledgeable and willing to help out students and parents. Facilities are new and updated although compared to some other local schools, it seems that less classes are offered. On the other hand, there is access to CTE, dual enrollment, and AP courses.

Teachers mostly give us busy work instead of teaching us, such as the engineering teacher, who also shows favoritism and all other students are ignored. Another thing is that the teachers are lazy and put grades a few days before report cards are do. Also, the food is pretty terrible. The clubs and sports are just the normal school activities, with nothing special.

Nothing special. Decent teachers and wide variety of classes offered. They offer a dual enrollment program to take college courses and earn your Associate's while getting your Diploma. Many clubs with not so great people.
