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.

Even though it's not a good school , I've had great memories . I've meet really good teachers but not all are . What makes this school unique it's the athletic teams who try to do there best . If I could do it all over I would not go to this school .
