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.

My best experiences at this school are within my elective classes. I think these classes provide the best learning experiences and math student's interests the most. My worst experiences come with the majority of classes that are required, required classes seem to be less interactive and even if they are classes with interesting topics the teachers don't do a good job at making the experience feel fun and engaging

The workload is fair. There's homework, but not usually a lot of it. The curriculums are pretty decent. The scheduling process is very easy. You look at the required classes you need, pick those, then pick electives to go around those, fill out the form, then turn it in to the counselor or Clara in the office.

I like this school because it is very unique. They prepare you for life outside of high school, make sure you're on the right track for graduating and passing all your classes. They make sure you watch your character, because it matters, and they emphasize it very much ( in a program called "Character Counts" for all students and staff).
