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.

Teachers, counselors, administration, etc are available to reach out to. The College Center also has many resources for students to use, such as aid in college applications and ways to meet financial needs. The school food is also decent. However, school bathrooms often have one issue or another and are not generally that well kept.

I attended this school 40 years ago and recently did a tour of the school with the principal and was very impressed with the students and staff. My son shadowed another student for half a day and was equally impressed.
