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.

I absolutely loved the football rivalry team it is the best week of the whole school year. Something I want to see change is for the administration and principle to listen to the students when they complain about a teacher who does not teach the class , which causes theses students to fail the class. It's frustrating having a teacher who does not do anything and sits behind the computer all day. Not all teachers are like this. Also they need to be more strict on the students. As a graduate from this school I was bothered by the amount of people who smoked in the restroom. It gives the school a bad representation. Locking the doors to the restrooms does nothing.
