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.

Classes are pretty good, same with clubs and activities. 9 times out of 10 you will always have someone to help you with whatever you need; homework help, community service, counseling, college readiness, etc. the only thing I would change is probably some of the newer school policies— but that's about it. Over all, 8/10

I think this is a wonderful school no matter what anyone says. School is school, and rules are rules. Sure we don't agree with them sometimes but if you really want to change something properly addressing it instead of constantly complaining would be a good way to go. Anyway no school is perfect, so...
