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.

My best experience at my high school will be them hosting some events which students come together and have fun but the worst experience will be that there's a lot of fights and bullying mainly targeting people who are just being themselves and them not fitting in their "standard". If there's one thing I want to see a change in my school, it will be if there's less bullying and targeting people for who they are.

School will not recommend it. Teachers are horrible bathrooms are dirty. The principal is unforgiving and cruel. I would not recommend a school at all and I have quit my job at this place. Do not send your kid here.

As with all urban school districts officials face problems that reflect the problems in our society. It is easy to blame the school but there are things that are out of the control of the administration. That is not to say that things cannot be improved. However, I would not be the person I am today...
