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.

The school is not very diverse; however, it has great teachers and is academically challenging. The facilities are new and up to date, they are also clean. I have never felt unsafe here and we have a great resource officer.

Great school, the teachers care about you and want you to succeed. They do a great job preparing students for college and academics are great. There are many ways to get involved from the clubs to sports. School spirit is always running. The sporting events are fun to attend.

This school is DISCRIMINANT. If you are not involved in sports or an academic team, you do not matter here. I am not in sports, and I am treated rather poorly compared to students who are in sports. All I can say is, I cannot wait until I graduate and never have to return here again.
