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 has definitely improved Post-Covid. I have enjoyed being with the students here. I have not experienced any bullying and this school did the job. My teachers were great and the staff were nice to me.

The school was fine at best, the teachers were not the best equipped for students, it seemed to push Jrotc as their main graduates. The food in the cafeteria was enough to survive on, and administration was far behind the important events. I graduated with Suma Cumlaude but didn't know it's wasn't Magna until graduation day when I was called up. So all the photos we took showed me graduating with a lower honors that what I had earned and practiced in several practice ceremonies.

It got me my diploma but there wasn't a whole lot of safety. all schools have stuff like drugs and issues going on but no one really enforces the rules and it feels like you just have to deal with what is going on.

I would rate my experience (four years) at this school very poorly. If you have the means, I would certainly recommend sending your child someplace else. My experience was generally negative. If you or your child wants to go to university and be successful, especially leaving the country/state or de...

I think my school is a good school overall but some of the teachers don't even do their job right! most teachers just write notes on the board and have us write them down and then we're done for that class period. teachers aren't teaching as much as they should. I am in 10th grade and it was the sam...
