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.

This school over the past 3 years, and this current year so far, has given me much needed social experiences that have formed my personality and how I interact with others. It is/was a great stepping stone that made me the man I am today.

Very good education and options to prepare for college/after high school. Teachers seem to genuinely care about students' success. There is a lot of cliques and bullying.

The majority of teachers do care about you and push you to achieve your highest potential. The academics are rigorous and the teachers are knowledgeable in what they know. During my time there, the only thing I heard only negative comments about was girls track & field. The coaches were said to make fun of the kids and I did notice that a lot of girls dropped track & field shortly into the season.

Principals and vice principals have absolutely no idea what is going on. Punishments are dished out to children (even with 0 basis or proof) influenced by favoritism. My child was accused of something on the bus by another student, I asked to see the video as this is not something I have ever heard...
