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.

The food here is horrible. A bunch of students are horrible, there are so many bullies and nobody does anything about it.
3.0 Junior

The overall experience here is amazing and can sometimes be stressful sometimes but I pull through, The worst part of this school would be the food, and the way they treat people when they are in a deep depression and try to attempt, the school just sends them to the hospital and send them home after 24 hours. This school I believed should have done better and try to help them.
