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.

This school is very challenging but overall really fun. Most kids have some friends and nobody gets left out because of race or things like that. The lunches are not the best but the sandwiches were pretty good and the hot lunch wasn't terrible. The teachers are very nice and most of them a bit challenging but a really great experience. Highly recommend it and is a great school.

This is a really over-rated school. Teachers may be nice, but gives lots of Homework, almost 1-2 hrs a day. I mean there are clubs to join, which is good, but overall so OVERRATED

as a student here, i really dislike the whole school system. there is a LOT of bullying that gets brushed over, and racism too. also the teachers only teach just to test, and not to actually benefit the student. teachers go over a topic for one class period and you’re expected to learn everything el...
