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.

A close community that offers college support to students. Staff works with parents and students to have the best solution for their student's education.

They help a lot when it comes to going to college. But it's not a normal high school. Sports isn't a big thing so if you're planning to go here and play sports its not the best. They don't have many normal high school events like football games, homecomings, or dances. Its a small school and its mostly indoor. The gym they have is shared with the middle school. The building is shared by both high school and middle school but its seperated.

We are fairly pleased with the school.The positives are: 1) staff that genuinely seems to care about the students; 2) small school and small class environment; 3) teachers reply to parent emails promptly; 4) his/her...

Truthfully, this school lacks "college prep". Yes, they strive to get you into college, but they're not feeding you the details on how to be a student. Most of the students here are immature. You can not learn in a loud and rude environment. I am a student here, regretting the fact that I chose to a...
