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.

Great college preparatory high school that prepares you for college. Staff members 100% all for the students education, and will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to make sure that your child is successful in college and beyond.

Being at people's prep, helped me prepare for college. They prepared me so much, to the point where I feel like I'm going to do my best at the college of my choice. The work is on college level, which is great. But, certain things need to change. Some of the rules need some work and some of them should be eliminated. We are high-schoolers, yet we felt like babies and prisoners in that school.

I give it a 0. Worst school I've been to, don't come here, never felt so unsafe and alone and stressed in a school before. Currently trying to leave the school, hopefully i transfer soon, can't stand this anymore.
