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 have met many different types of students and teachers. The diversity among the teachers is very helpful because you get a chance to experience new ways to learn. The campus is big and beautiful.

Academically this school is great. There are loads of AP classes to take as well as honors courses and the IB program. Most teachers are great and good at what they do (with the exception of a few bad ones). But the administrators could almost care less. The counselors do next to nothing, they will leave emails unanswered for weeks and are rude when they do reply.
