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.

4.0 Sophomore

Current sophomore (class of 2026), and I have to say, despite the amazing teachers and administration, the students are pretty bad. There are students who go out of their way to be rude and poor quality people. There is also a really bad vaping problem, which I understand is harder to deal with than it should be, but students purchase vapes from one another. The teachers and administration are amazing though. The principal and vice principal seem to actually care for the students.
