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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience so far at this school has been positive. No major concerns have been found, only small ones like bathrooms being closed most of the time. Staff are pretty nice and helpful, especially the teachers. One of the best experiences I've had.

Great teachers and academics, school has good intentions for the students and good resources. The only thing is that I struggle to stay up to date as a running start student.

The counselors don't care about your grades or really how to help they just care if you graduate. Same as the teachers, there are very few who care about their student and want them to succeed. It is a bit weird having 3 turf fields, 2 being for football, which doesn't excel much athletically, while the softball and baseball fields get flooded with barely a hint of rain. The food is not enjoyable, except 2 or 3 slightly decent meals. The students are fine, just the average some nice some mean types.
For the most part I love my school and I love my teachers! They are amazing,The only thing I could think to complain about would be the dances never have adults watching kids...other then that it is a fantastic school!!!
