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 had a great high school experience and loved my teachers. I found a friend group that was positive and supportive. We were involved in many clubs and activities. The only downside was the music program was lacking after having come from a middle school with a great program.

The teachers are really great about reaching out when there is a problem and working with you to come up with a solution. The staff is also really great about working with students to help them succeed like graduating early moving to online etc. One of the things I wish was better would be the communication when it comes to events such as senior events. I will say that they do have a newsletter that goes out every week but it has a lot of the same information on it and you have to scan and search for anything new it would be wonderful if they could remove all the fluff and get down to what is needed to know.

This school has been nothing but damaging. The teachers do not care about the students, the students are always mean or bullying, students do not do work and always push it off. It has no equality, everyone just fights or hate each other, the bathrooms are disgusting and full of graffiti. Everyone d...
