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.

It is fun. Very challenging to students. I am very involved as a student there. School is what you make it and I try my beat daily to make the best of it for myself.

The people are very kind and the teachers actually care about you but you do have to be able to still be driven to do work despite the people that don't really care about doing well around you.

This school is the most ignorant school I have ever been to. The teachers try to become event friends with the students and they don't help you when you say you need help with something.
