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.

I really enjoy this school. it helped me open up to a lot of opportunities. I am in the PTECH program which is a program that helps you start college early. These college classes can help you get your associates degree. There are many many electives that seem enjoyable.

I find the school enjoyable, I feel safe and that there are teachers who genuinely care for their students and want to see us succeed. Though there are others who do not care for their students. It can get lonely because students tend to be very closed off when making new friends, it could also be the way I look as well, but it is hard building relationships at the school.
