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.

There were a few good points and teachers that were awesome, but the school messed up on everything and does not give a lot of credit for those that actually do things for the school or the students. also they just recently took away the cord that was supposed to go to every one that gets above a GPA number.

I would like to see school policies change so that rules apply to everyone. I would also like to see a change in the guidance office and more information put out for rising ninth graders and for juniors coming into their senior year. The guidance does not give very good information to get students prepared.

Really disturbing rumors about the principal are whispered by parents, students and even teachers. Some people say this is where they send their problem administrators...
