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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

So far with two full years and the beginning of the third I've found this school to be solid. The main concern I have is the food. We are the fed the same amount of food as a elementary student which is not okay for 17 year Olds. Most of the classes are fairly good, But recently the science department has been lacking with good teachers. There has also been some hate speech that I've heard myself and I think is a big problem.
