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.

5.0 Senior

I have been here since 2020 which was Covid year so I did not receive the freshman experience. However, my sophomore year was a great year especially considering I had friends who were upper class men who helped me get around class. Overall I love the campus and I wouldn't change it

As a senior I was a new kid, I started out knowing no one which I feel really didn't allow me to form proper friendships. People had their friends and groups, yet there I was with no one. I found myself talking loudly when I mentioned I was a new kid because I wanted people to approach me. Luckily I was welcomed by a few people but I really had to step out of a boundary and comfort zone to do so. Sometimes I feel like I should have never even enrolled, but I see the people I've met and the things I've accomplished in so little time and I feel proud.
