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've been going to this school my entire time in high school and I love it so much. The only bad thing is that our football team sucks.

Best AP classes, leadership, track, band, extra classes at SPSCC. Worst need to change the bathroom culture.

Overall, it is a good school. One major critique I have is the difference in difficulty between core leveled classes and AP leveled classes, I wish there were more options for classes between core and AP, such as honors classes. Also, the food is not the best, it is very mediocre. There are also plenty of strengths. I've noticed there is a lot of diversity in the student body, especially in the AP program. Also most of the faculty are great at what they do, especially the AP math and history departments.
