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 freshman year was during the pandemic and that was something really weird with everything been on the computer but I was so happy to go back to normal and my sophomore year was really fun because I joined clubs like dance, student council and senate, I was really glad my school was one of the only schools that had senate because we have a voice and that's what the school projects and you can talk freely
