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 am a rising sophomore. So far, my overall experience has been very good. Academics and teachers are engaging, especially if you are in the academies. I would say that there are a lot of clubs to choose from. The school is very safe. My only complaint would be diversity.
