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.

Personally I did not have a good high school experience. My last two years I did all I could to be out of the building therefore I took college classes instead. I felt as if I wasn't in a very safe environment mentally and physically. I only had a few teacher that I felt really cared about my education as well which was really a bummer.

Most teachers are supportive and helpful, but some are disrespectful and mean. It is overcrowded and not very well maintained. There are many fights and students tend to make fun of others. But it does try and promote student leadership and collaboration. The extracurricular classes are very fun but some of the rules make no sense and don't even help to make the school better.

I pulled my daughter out of there once I realized that she was not being challenged, nor was she being prepared for college. Not to mention the inadequate discipl...

This is a fabulous state of the art facility. Students are engaged in coursework as you walk the halls and peer in. Featuring an outstanding wide ranging course book, the high school is a very desirable place to be. I've been in many high schools. These guys are improving and getting the job done mo...
