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.

Personally the only thing that messes with my experience is the students around me. But that's just like every other high school. I love all the teachers there, i love how they work with kids to help them learn at their pace and in their own way. And I love how involved they keep students.

Just like any school system, there is room for improvement, however, they ultimately are a good school.
