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 have found that you really need a strong supporting group of friends to back to up to really mentally manage in this school. I have been bullied with very little repercussions done by adults. I only really felt comfortable with teachers in certain subjects others should not be teaching. Complaints usually get brushed under the rug. I do love high school but that was mostly cause of Music and sports and friends.

There is low diversity in the school. Many teachers don't want to see their students improve in their subject; most teachers release the hardest content they can to challenge students yet affect grades.

Most of the teachers do an excellent job. The administration is abysmal, though, and show no ability to lead their school. It's obvious the principal doesn't care about his students when he even plagiarizes a letter to students about protesting recent gun violence in schools. The bad administration...
