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.

It's a great school for academics, clubs, and meeting new people but it is an old school and the cleanliness is not the best.

Overall, the environment is very good and most of the teachers are nice. However, there is definently a disconnect between administration and students. I didn't know who half of our principals were until this year and the guidance counselors are not usually very helpful.
