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.

Young educated teachers that are passionate about their jobs. Small conventional high school with around 400 kids. Students test above average for state wide standardized testing. It has been a good experience over all with enough support within the school (academic and emotional). Still a little to conventional for my taste and not as many class options as you would find in a larger school.
