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.

Overall my experience here was good. There was a few times though where the support from my teachers was lacking.

I like the teachers, they are trusting, helpful, people who are very good at their jobs. They provide a good education. But one thing I would like to see change is favoritism. Few staff tend to favor students depending on a few things.

This school just cares about sports and thats it, everyone is super closed minded and the staff doesn't care, I've went here since Kindergarten and since i got into middle school and highschool. so annoying, the rules and what this place stands for. They have teacher who are just weird. I missed out on 7 months of my sport because I had a D in class and it was an elective and instead of taking me out they told me i had to finish it for the second quarter and now, I didn't play my sport because of one class and there was no guidance. Horrible, i wanna switch but I don't really have a choice.
