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.

There are a lot of clubs offered at the school that are fully committed and participate in a lot of volunteering for a variety of projects (key club, student2student, national honor society). There is also choices for the more artistic students such as art club or drama. The staff is supportive of ideas for clubs that students come up with. All students have to do is get a teacher along with the plan who will help lead the club and talk it over with the principal.
