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.

The school is terrible. Not that diverse. School's food is not good and is worse ever since covid happened. The teachers are rude and the administration isn't that good. The school has very bad classes. They don't help students at all, they jsut drain their brains out. 0/10 school. Don't make your kids go here!!!!
