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 like my school to a degree. It lacked the feeling of home. The food wasn't very good and the respect wasn't always reciprocated.

This school is pretty good. Some of the teachers truly care for their students but a handful of teachers are terrible. The building itself is nice, with the 3 gyms and the auditorium and a nice cafeteria. The school offers College classes in the school for free for the students. We also have a large variety of classes to take including ProStart which is a culinary arts class.

I liked how you could take college in the school courses, and the teachers were always very nice and friendly. They made sure to go above and beyond to help you understand something fully if you were struggling or not. I felt as if everyone got along and there was good atmosphere at the school.
