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 haven't been here long enough to give it any higher, though it does have a few problems. Vaping is a really big problem in this school, and they are having to crack down on people saying racial slurs, threatening punishment, though it doesn't work. Other than that the school feels crowded more than anything.

I do not like the fact that a majority of the school discriminates towards people. The building is nice, and teachers are ok.

There is only one open bathroom, with only three functioning stalls, for a student population of over 500 students.
