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 experience was genuinely positive-- supportive peers, a welcoming environment, and passionate students. The only challenge was the limited funding available to clubs, which made it harder for some to grow. I'd love to see more balanced support from administration so every sponsor and student-led group can thrive equally.

My overall experience has been outstanding from food and sports to the academics and administrators. My first Year has taught me that hard work and discipline will help you achieve academic success.

There are some really great teachers that are really passionate about their respective subjects. In some subjects, I feel like I couldn't be more ready for the CFE or the AP exam. There are also some really not so great teachers who skate through the year doing the bare minimum or teach very inefficiently, to the point that I am left feeling lost for the whole year. Overall, it feels a lot like a coinflip between the very best and the not so good.

From the APEX program for the high achievers to the special needs program, the teachers really care and it...

If your child is an above average AP student or falls in the special needs category then you and your child may have a good experience there. But if they are an average student struggling in any way you’ll find no support. Your child is treated as a number and there is no personal consideration gran...

Honestly it should be a 7 or a 8 because ever since I sent my son here he has gotten better help and teaching at this school than any other school. The teachers are super helpful to the student and they really care about the kids and not just there paycheck. Also the diversity of the school is very...
