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.

Average club offering and facilities, but STEM and Music is good. Highlights are the Aerospace Engineering classes, world-championship FIRST robotics club, safety, stable fine arts, and growing school culture and athletics.
