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.

Good school with great teachers for the most part. There are some curriculums that are redundant but overall good learning experience. The start end times of the school day are also not bad. The music department was good and had lots of opportunities to excel and trips like Hershey Park. There is a nice library with a good amount of books and space for projects. The building can get monotonous at times because there are not many windows but recent art made it better. The lunch is not bad and there is a decent amount of time. There should be more space in the building for lockers I think because it gets very busy and crowded at times. It is nice that it is very close to Dominion High School because their auditorium can be used for bigger events such as band concerts. There is a great principal and very welcoming to all the students and new incoming students. Very friendly and attentive to the needs of the students and seems like all the students are fond of the principal as well.

One teacher sat by and let me get singled out and picked on and said it was practically my fault. The hallways are a mess,...
