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.

When I went to this highschool I'm sure it was a lot different than it is now. I graduated in 2018 There were a lot of fights, a lot of safety issues especially my last year. Other than that food was always amazing I loved they started doing abc lunch instead of having everyon out at the same time it was hectic and no control really. But the classes they offer and extracurricular activities are an amazing opportunity that should be used.
