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 is fine. The only criticisms I have about it is they don't have many tech courses, and I feel like they could do better with class scheduling.

I liked most of the teachers at this school, many were very helpful and very nice. There is not much diversity at the school, not really sure if that is the school's fault though. Lots of clubs and sports to join and easy to make friends through them.
