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 is an okay school to be at. it is not a bad school, but it could be a lot better. They need to learn how to take care of their teachers. I really like that there are shops, as in career choices to pick from. there is a shop for cosmetology and medicine, and so forth.

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.

Overall the experience was good. Every school has its flaws. Most of the teachers were great. The career options were great, unfortunately sometimes you don't get into the show you want and it's quite discouraging. Also wish that they would focus more on the career aspect than the academics because that's what the school is for. If it was for all academic purposes then most kids could've just went to a regular Highschool.

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

I graduated 2012 and I learned most of my math history and literature from my family and friends, but overall if your going for a career I recommend it only if you want to learn. But almost all the academic classes or bs an...
