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 no complaints about my school other than the typical things that you'd find anywhere such as rumors, lost friends, difficult work, etc.

There is a wide choice of extracurricular activities but I do not take part in many because I have a filled schedule with higher classes such as ACE and AP classes. I try to fill my schedule while keeping at least one free period.

The building has somewhat bad conditions. For example, the bathrooms are from the 50's.

I've had 3 children in this district. Nepotism and favoritism run high in this community. Bullying and mental health concerns are definite issues that have persisted. Don't expect professionalism or equitable treatment and education. While it isn't all bad, the cons definitely outweigh the pros.

I wouldn't have wanted to attend any other school & wish I could relive my school days. Any issues I encountered I overcame making me stronger & determined to succeed.

High School math department is not the best and that leaves some students unprepared for college. Lots of sports are offered, clubs exist, and the music department is amazing. Mine say the school lunches are pretty great also. Nice size school makes it easier to keep open communication going, small...
