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.

Sorry for making this overall but this school does not handle stuff the right way. Teachers take the bad persons side and we get in trouble. Not only that the dress code is horrible I have seen friends wearing shorts but when one girl wears it which is really short she doesn't get dress coded because it looks "good". Admin doesn't handle stuff good and always trying to bring more people in. Teachers are sometimes rude for no reason especially when you're asking for help. There's only a couple good teachers in this school. Kids here are rude and when we report it admin doesn't do anything. Counselor will tell your parents if you have done self harm when you clearly want just them to talk about it. But clearly they always think it's the boy or a girl if you're going to get expelled. Don't. Give. Too. Much. Information.
