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.

I feel that our food at the school is not good. The general taste of food is poor. The portions are not to given standards, they are less.

I believe that my overall experience at this school is okay. I have enjoyed getting to know not only my teachers but my class at a personal level, however, at times this was an issue. I have been frustrated with classes offered, I have tried very hard to take as many high level classes as possible, but it has been hard. Overall this is a good school for the average student.

While our school follows the national requirements, we are seriously lacking in in a good teaching staff. Peers have graduated and have come back to say they are very ill prepared for college. There really is no challenge in any of the classes. I truly feel the teachers at our school just "push" us through the system to get us out of their hair. There are very few AP classes offered and what there is, is offered through a V-Tel approach. There is no one on one contact.
