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.

Great teachers and very helpful people. Good to catch up on credits or graduate fast. Everyone has been very helpful on getting me my Education and graduating on time. Teachers are always willing to help.

There's a leadership class available to all students that is actually very involved. For people that aren't very social there is rarely any sort of peer pressure or involvement in bad conduct.
