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.

For the most part, it is a good school. The environment is good, and the sports are highly praised. It, however, is severely lacking in advanced courses.

This school had some of the best teachers I have ever had. They all wanted their students to succeed, and they really pushed for that. You could see that all of them loved their jobs. They also had a very good sports and music program which is very important to me.

Horrible high school went here my sophomore year. Only had a couple good teachers, extremely cliquish, especially the Ag department. Most teachers pick favorite, and the students are extremely rude. Do not send your kid here.
