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 school has an exuberant amount of drug users and had a fentanyl crisis while I was attending where the school had to be evacuated. The staff does not care about student's academics after high school and overall does not know how to run a school. There are many thieves at the school and the school resource officers are overworked and underfunded to properly help a school of this size.

The school has issues, there's no denying it. I used too be in band and my last year of school the board shut down our competition season and presumably suspended our band teacher for some legal issue that had nothing too do with our band.

My senior year has been full of mishaps and mis-steps for the school board and the school administration. Specifically, there was a fentanyl incident at the school which prompted to school board to terminate 1/2 of the administration and 1/2 the teaching staff over the summer. The first month of school could best be described as chaotic and disruptive to learning. Prior to this year, I would have rated the school 4.5 stars.

Horrible. This is the worst school I have ever been to. They do nothing to help their students. Drug abuse and dealing happens, students are not free to express themselves unless they agree with Christian values despite it being a public school. And they do not enforce equal treatment of students by...

I would not recommend a parent send their child to this School. The Students are definitely not prepared for entrance to college. When a Valedictorian of any school has trouble with college classes in Math, there are major problems with the High School they just graduated from!
