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 a great school with good teachers. Athletics are one of the best in the state with many students going to college for their sports.

This school is very community oriented. They make sure the students are involved and love holding fun events for us to attend to. I would say the staff and faculty could be iffy, I have created meaningful relationships with many teachers and staff however, others can be hard to get along with. Overall, great school.

Overall it was a decent experience. There was a lot of great career and college readiness programs. A high quality education in my opinion. The school is somewhat diverse, but I did find that there were still some issues, not many though. This school is also very athletically focused. There is numerous engineering and arts, including performing arts, programs. There is something for everyone here.

Wonderful school if you have blonde hair and blues. My child was not permitted in the band year book picture because she colored her hair red. The teacher cited a rule that students must have natural hair color, but he permitted the students with bleach bonde hair (not natural), students with hair d...
