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 has its ups and downs. There are many teachers that love and care for their students, but the school lunches kinda suck.

It is a nice school with nice teachers and athletics. Although there have been many issues with the administration and the way that they handle things, I personally haven't had much of an issue with them they are very nice and sometimes will listen to your concerns. Counselors are always willing to talk and be there for you.
