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 love the ability to involve everyone in school activities. The Band instructor is amazing. He supports our band members on all levels. The teachers care about each student. I would of course always have recommendations for the cafeteria. The school is very supportive of the students. I think it would be great to see more after school activities that are coordinated with the teachers at the sporting events to lead the student body in cheering on our teammates.

Freshman year, Algebra, I got removed from a class room for asking a question because and I quote I, "just want the attention". No I just need help. A lot of the teach...
