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 have enjoyed my high school experience so far I would not want to be anywhere else for high school. I am very heavy in the art and music area and wish there was more funding for the arts.

It was fine. Academically I didn't struggle and the staff was kind, but I know other students who have had different experiences.
4.0 Senior
9/15/2021
A lot of teachers have biases against other students and will treat students differently. The sports program is not the greatest. We're considered the "expected losers". Diversity is actually pretty great and I love being exposed to all kinds of people. Not a lot of clubs and club involvement is low.
