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.

My experience with this school has been decent. Something that makes this school district unique is how diverse the students are. I think some of the teachers could challenge us more sometimes. If I could do it all over again, I would still choose to attend this school because it is part of who I am. With out that, I wouldn't be the same person.

Our school is pretty serious about no bullying. The principal is also always involved.

Over the past few years our school has started updating it resources more and adding to the school. We now have cameras set up in the school for our safety and doors that lock automatically once school starts. Every junior high and high school student has a MacBook Air laptop that they can use for school purposes. Our guidance counselors right now have been doing a better job with helping us schedule classes and help with college advice. It would be nicer to have more college prep resources however.
