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 best part was many options for electives. Lots of activities and clubs for students to join in. Best and most spirited. The worse part was the restrooms. No working sinks.

Nice school and very easy to get involved in programs or other activities you might be interested in. I personally am in two programs which are marching band and also Oiler Tv which is our schools news broadcasting program. I have been enjoying all of my time so far this year and believe it is a great school for everyone.
