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 enjoy the support from teachers. Everyone is very supportive, but the school community isn't very inviting.

This High School Offers ROP in the Health Careers which helped me prepare for my goal. Deborah Tracy, has taught me to prepare and set my goals to keep me in college. After taking 2 years of ROP I graduated my senior year with a certificate and learned Medical Terminology. The school is very supportive in every way. I was also a Teen mom, and with all the struggles I've been through I graduated. Now I am in college and my son goes to daycare. I want to provide a better future for him.
