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.

Cons: Small student body. Cafeteria smells like a restroom. Love bugs bother you if you eat outside during lunch. No school nurse. Barely any clubs. Clubs are boring. (imo) Mediocre food. Pros: Tinted windows. Plenty of outdoor seating. Doors are always locked and/or require a staff key card. Has Dual Enrollment. Staff cares. (No, like actually) Free food. Has a snack shack. Open gym. Dual Enrollment students can just leave at any time during/after lunch.

The high school offers a program for dual enrollment, which I highly recommend participating in. There is also a good amount of support for students that apply for dual enrollment. However, before I was enrolled in dual enrollment I did not have the best experience at this school. Many of the teachers feel unqualified for their roles, and administrators can be disorganized and unhelpful.

They pressured us to have high gpa, and if we didnt we would be expelled. This school gives off negative energy and a private schoo...

Horrible!!!ESE director doesn't provide consultation, yet the school receives federal/state funds. The teachers dont follow IEPs, and instead allows a child to struggle. The directors only cares about their image, not the students at hand. The school looks the other way when there is bullying. Your...
