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.

Small school that priorities their students education and teaching them important values and work ethic. However because the school is small, not much diversity in clubs or electives are available. The only foreign language available is Spanish. But the teachers and nice and the students get along for the most part.

My first year having my child attend this school & I was pleasantly surprised! I found the environment to be friendly & great teachers. They were willing to assist her & guide her when needed as well as challenge her when she felt that she needed to give up. The principal & staff are very kind.

The classes here aren't really hard, it's just that the workload is way too much. I'm not taking any AP classes this year and I have about 5+ hours of homework a night and my gpa falls under the 3.1 range. Many students have low GPAs that the principal had to lower the gpa requirement to play sports...
