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.

My experience has been amazing. I will definitely miss this school. The teachers are so kind and can go to them for anything. One recent experience I loved was that there was a dunkin truck and we all got free drinks.

Overall, I had a pretty good high school experience. I think it would be unfair to expect every teacher and class to be perfect but some were very far from perfect. There are teachers at this school who make you want to come in every day and some who do the opposite and the same goes for the administration. There are very few who create a negative environment but sadly they tend to have a greater impact than the teachers who do their jobs well and support their students.

Overall experience could be worse. Provides good clubs but the process of participating is slightly difficult. Students are very cliquey. Teachers are either great or horrible and administrators rarely listen to teacher feedback. Some administrators are strict and enforce rules simply to show their authority and do it in an unnecessarily mean manner. Your experience is what you make it.

We are new to this school, but so far all of our interactions have been positive. The teachers i've met are excited to teach the students and really care about their academic progress.
