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.

There were so many stories of cultish activities, gun and bomb threats frequently, but there were many academic opportunities which I took advantage of and am grateful for.

The worst parts is how often students get into physical and verbal altercations. It feels unsafe and there are many time that we would be in lock down, taking away from learning experiences. The best parts are some of the teachers were great and clearly loved their job.

For the 4 years i've been there, (This being my final year), it was quite a ride to say the least. I've had many different teacher, who some of them i look up to to this day. I've talk to all sort of people from all walks of life, been in many different types of clubs, and even the food is an improvement from what i remember having at my old middle school. The only bad thing i can mention, which sadly has been a feature of this school for many years now, is the massive amount of fights, and once in a while online school threat its gets. But the good news about this is that school seems to be pushing back on this, and its been decreasing slowly throughout the years.

My daughter just graduated from this school and it is a far better high school than these other reviews say. It's got highly qualified teachers, good social circles, and excellent extracurriculars. Sure, there are a few bad kids, as with any high school, but that's to be expected and overall this is...

They do not care to protect the children. Often threats made to students and parents from students within the school. Keep your kids away from here!!
