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.

I like the technology that this school offers, it gives a computer to every high school student for the course of their four years. There is also a 3-D printer available to use. The teachers are all nice but it is not a great place for someone with high grades and honors because they do not offer any AP or college credit classes.

The school itself is a very educational school. I have made a lot of memories, but in my personal opinion i would have loved to go to a bigger school. There are a lot of different classes and clubs to join and everyone is very active in school functions.
