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.

My overall high school expirence has been full of many highs and many lows. I will say my high school exprience has got better as the years have passed. My freshman and sophmore years of high school were honestly the worst times of my life. I was bullied all throughout my school year up until my Junior year. I was constantly called names, but my junior and senior year I focused on me and things got better for me socially and academically.

I would like to have CCP courses offered at the high school. I wish the school would use weighted grades for college CCP courses like other area schools do. If the high school would offer evening or weekend hours once a month for families to meet with student advisors, college, etc.. would be very helpful for students plan or prepare for college.

Teachers are usually good, although some act as if they just hate kids in general. The school uses the Common Core standard system as well as employing the Project Based Learning system, a program in which students educate themselves about the subject given to them instead of teachers telling inform...
