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.

There is no school team or any sports at my school, there is a soccer field for kids to play soccer during lunch. School spirit isn't very high but likewise I am still looking forward to graduating and senior activities.

The staff is very involved. The vice-principal and or principal would come down here from the main campus to check up on how everyone is doing academic wise and or if there are no complications with the staff. Very strict on drugs.
