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.

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 teachers and staff members are very nice some are more strict than others they're very strict with grades. If you don't have a, b or higher than you can't go on certain trips and if you fail any classes you'll have summer school

I'm very, VERY disappointed in this school. I'm a hard working student. So far, I really don't like this school. I agree on that fact that the low standards of this school lowers your self esteem if you a really smart student. I'm one of those students. I only applied because I thought this school w...
