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.

Okay experience. The education is not the best and communication between students and administration is not good. Food could be better as well. Parents are very involved and have a good variety of sports. There is no real preparedness for going to college nor is there any support to go through with college as well or even trade school.
