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.

My experience at the school wasn't the worst. The best part of my experience is the teachers, some of the teachers help more than most. Those teachers are the ones who truly made my high school experience worth it. The worst part of my experience is the fact that everything changes so often. With it being my last year, a lot has changed. The changing of certain has made somethings a bit difficult. Honestly I don't want to see anything change. It's a good school to me, even with the difficulties.
