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 would have to say the best part of attending the school was my pier group they made me want to go to school and the wort part of the school are the dumb rules that they enforced wen intent they would lock the boys restroom because of the trouble student and they would make us sign in to use the rest room

My overall experience with the school was very memorable with a lot of ups and downs and opportunities to learn especially from the economics teacher. He gives important and helpful advice for later on in life and you can learn a lot from the things he shows and says. There are decent clubs and a great leadership class that does get involved and tries their best to make everyone feel involved and welcome in the school. I can say I made some good memories here but the only thing I would want there to be is more school spirit and a bigger budget so that the seniors could have multiple activities throughout the year.

I do really love being at this school and you learn a lot, but it is quite difficult as the years start passing and by the time you hit the end you realize that you learned so much but also the memories you had with your friends and you don't want it to end but you're also ready to leave. I was apart of short flags and it was the best thing I did at this school. There aren't many school's that have short flags and this team was the best and we had so much school spirit. We aren't as big as we were before Covid but we're slowly coming back together and we make things possible. We love hearing the school and parents cheer for us when we perform. This school is also very helpful in getting you ready for college. My mother had me join avid and I think that was one of my best decisions because they were able to help me decide what I want to do and what colleges I should apply to and how to apply to all these things on time. Now I have applied to four colleges and I have been accepted to two

Out of the 3 schools in the complex i would say that steam is the most humble and beneficial school. It has many opportunities and keeps students engaged in what they’re learning. The majority of the teachers are communicative and overall the environment is very personable. The college counselors ar...
