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.

I have had a really great experience at my high school. Never once have I had a negative experience with a teacher or staff member. The school had such a positive environment, always welcoming. There are a variety of clubs and opportunities for whatever you're interested in. I have definitely enjoyed my four years at this school and will miss it.
