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 graduated from here about a year ago. I had an awesome high school experience thanks to my teachers, extra-curricular activities, and friends.

You probably hear this a lot and think " Oh well, they do teach just it's the students not paying attention". We have a few good teachers that actually teach and you are able to learn from but we also have some bad ones that stay on Facebook and stuff than expect you know know the lesson. Our new principal is really doing well and making many changes throughout the school.
