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.

It is safe and the teachers are nice and most of them are pretty good. I would right down all the negatives but a review must be fewer the 1000 characters so I'll just make a few bullet points. No diversity or enough people for sports because of the counties refusal to provide jobs. Fitting in is important if you have a gay or lesbian son or daughter if your family is middle eastern stay away. Barely any college or life prep The administration are so bad they call in drug dogs for absolutely no reason wasting tax payers money because the school is the size it is they should just search lockers themselves VICIOUS LIES AND DANGEROUS RUMORS the administration cares more about what the county thinks then the actual well being of its students
