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.

The staff treats you like family and in my experience have always done their best to help you succeed. Currently, the school has adapted very well to all of the new Covid restrictions, including integrating new students onto a campus they've never been on before. Employees continue to take initiative in adapting to social and political changes; always taking the extra mile to make students feel safe.
