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.

Academics were good, some of the teachers don't pay attention to the kids who are struggling. The kids are straight up jerks in this school, it is very hard to find a decent friend you can talk to as normal human beings. I find this school to be toxic, the kids, teachers they are all very toxic for no reason. Wouldn't recommend this school, but if you think it will be a good fit then go ahead. I am currently in High School with a much better education, with much more meaningful friends, with an awesome athletic team.
