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.

vanden wasn't a bad school, their teachings were pretty good and the teachers were pretty chill. school is a bit strict but it's not a bad thing. i feel like some of the school activities and events could be done a bit better in involving students or making them more interested cause sometimes it's not too interesting, but it can be fun sometimes. for example the senior trip, there were some complications during the process but after everything was a bit fixed, the outcome was very fun.

I want our school to use our money and funds towards our campus and education rather than using it on football. I understand we have a good football team but it would be nice to have a cleaner and less ran down school. We also need to hire more teachers and substitutes.

It's okay, I didn't feel like it had much school spirit. No one participated In spirit days. And it really wasn't all that fun. It was just ok it's a small school and when talking to friends outside my school, their schools were so much better

this school ruined my son's life he came home everyday crying his freshman year saying people dump him in trash cans and more. My son was also racially profiled saying the teachers were treating him differently because of his color. Do not send your children here.
