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 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.
