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.

I joined this school as a sophomore and was new to the American system. This school was crucial to my growth in this country and it welcomed me . I joined the fencing sports team and made new friends. Never did I feel like I was not welcomed here. The teachers were very supportive and the faculty always helped out if I was struggling.
