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.

terrible terrible terrible. don't send your kids here i graduated JTHS in 2024 and let me tell you those 4 years were hell. always drama always something, and administration did NOTHING that would actually help the situation. they are so quick to accuse you of bs and send you for a drug test. my friend was sent because a teacher saw us laughing at lunch. DISGUSTING

I graduated from this school and I wouldn't replace my experience with any other school in the world. It may not have been the greatest school in the world but it was awesome anyway. Most of the teachers were chill, there's a friend group for everyone, and the community is very involved and tight knit.
