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.

It's a good high school for college preparation because you can focus and gain knowledge after graduation based on the shop/major you choose during your four years of learning and experimenting in that field as a high school student.

I've only attended one year there so far and it's been pretty good for the most part. I would really like to see more accommodations for students with disabilities.

It’s a school that if it’s not for you it’s not for you, your kid won’t like it and it’s not as it seems. Kids get accepted with D’s and F’s it’s not a private school or anything like a magnet one. It’s a regular highschool nothing special besides the trades that you learn
