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.

It was very hard to get in. It's competitive and even though my relatives attended, things have changed since they went like all things do. It's not much of a fun school culture in the traditional sense. I feel lucky to go here and if you excel in academics, you will be fine here. Getting in is the hard part. If you sort of know what you want to do or want to score some good scholarships for college, this school might be a good choice. Lots of diversity but not as much as other public high schools that aren't vocational.
