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.

It's a great high school but could care about the students more and improve their high school education in many ways, especially education.

It's generally an okay school, for the most part. There are a number of fights that occur, but there are hardly any gun or bomb threats ever (I've never experienced one here). Drug issues are quite big here, I see vapes and cannabis all around the school, but no hard drugs. As for academics, it kind of falls behind, because the other kids may be unmotivated. Overall though, I do enjoy it here.
