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.

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 really enjoyed my classes and the teachers in each of them. I personally would like to see a change in school culture. Something I have never heard from any other school system was that many students said our school specifically was terrible which I never personally experienced.

I do wish the teachers got more credit and funding. They deserve more recognition than they receive, specifically for the science teachers. They are incredibly amazing at teaching and implementing fun activities for my peers.

It is a great school, I feel safe and welcomed there. It is upsetting to think that I am graduating and will be leaving that school and those wonderful people.

There is so much bullying, slut shaming, racism, teacher misconduct and hostility that I am scared for the students there who think that is normal. I had a teacher...
