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.

Throughout my high school career, I can guarantee you that there is no better high school in the 956 Valley. From outstanding sports teams to having one of the best college prep programs, this school has it all.

My experience in school is pretty good because I get to understand and learn new things in class and every subject. Most students are friendly and mature and help you out with anything you need help with. The worst part of my experience is when I get to present anything because I get anxious and scared but I am trying to change it.

Although are some bad apples in terms of teachers, I'd say 99.99 percent are awesome teachers and actually care about their students education.

i'm sorry, but this is a great school with hundreds of amazing opportunities. It is a safe school. There's no fights during the school year, it's actually rare to find gang members. I hate that everyone believes that this school is unsafe because it's "ghetto". Go to school there and you'll see that...
