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.

Since the beginning of my freshman year, this school has provided me with opportunities to connect with others from different backgrounds and to reach for goals that I once thought were unattainable. However, this has also highlighted a lack of communication and knowledge among counselors—mainly the newer ones—though they try their best to help you with anything.

This is a perfectly good high school. I have been here for a couple of years sophmore-senior and I like it.
