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 came in to this school my junior year. It was really big and overwhelming and hard to get well connected.

I am currently in high school there and it is not the best experience. A few teachers are very nice and have helped me get prepared for college, but there are many that are stuck in their past days as a teenager. We have a few teachers who act like they are still in high school and rather immature for their age. It is very embarrassing when I, as a student, am more mature than my teachers. Sadly, this is not only true for the teachers but also the administration. They also act very immature and inappropriate for their job title.
