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.

This school is really big. There are cliques so you kind of just end up sticking to a certain group of friends. The after school activities are really good and there are a lot of ways of getting involved. Its also great on diversity and you will meet a lot of different people from all walks of life. Mostly everyone is accepting and someone will find a friend in this school somewhere.
