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 think the best part of this school is that we're safe from intruders, however not as much from other students. The worst part in my opinion is the lack of classes. We don't offer French, and have 0 AP classes and that doesn't really prepare us for college.

New administration is really turning the school around. As a graduating senior I would recommend the school, and as a member of the music program I can proudly say that the music program is wildly successful. Sports are great to be in, I am an athlete if the track team and can say that it is very well directed.
