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.

Great atmosphere and always felt comfortable and safe. Academics were taken seriously and sports made the culture of the school special.

The teachers and students are among some of the best people you will ever meet. If you do sports this is a great school for you because that is all they care about, even though the sports teams are kinda awful. The art and drama programs are amazing and do very well for the little amount of funding and attention they are given.
