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 is a good school. Most of the teachers really care about the students. It could be better with more funding from the state of Alabama.

This is the worst school my child has been to! The teachers don't care about the students, the coaches are inconsiderate to their players and the students are very violent! I'll never EVER recommend or bring my child to this horrid school!
