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.

The best part about going to school here was the student atmosphere. Students were always full of pride when it came to our schools sports teams; win or lose. However, I want to see a change in administration. As a student, it felt as if the admins were not someone you could talk to.

Throughout my high school years, i always thought it would be hard to be in high school. Turns out it wasnt as hard. I enjoyed the teachers that i got throughout the years.

We don't do anything in this school but sleep and text. I realize that all the teachers expect nothing from you! students here don't believe in ambition. The hard truth, I even have video footage of my everyday school day on youtube. Whoever rates this higher than one star might be for the very same...
