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.

This high school experience has been overall really good for me. I have never felt unsafe in the school and I always feel like I have someone that I can go to with my problems or if I need help in the school.

I went to this school for two years as a mixed race student and I can say this school has many racial issues that need to be solved along with how teachers arnt very helpful about there own teachings . overall this school has a image that it tries to keep up but sadly it's a badly kept up school with teachers and staff who only care about the paycheck and with deans who only care about how the students do on state testing it's honestly quite sad. I moved to a school over a town right next to Washington and I had a much better experience .

They have both received an excellent education with honors and AP credit classes that have helped them earn great college scholarships. The staff at the school is engaged with the community and communicates well. The s...
We moved here from northern Michigan and absolutely love this school. My child is able to take honors and AP courses. They have a great system for supporting student success with math labs, study hall, teachers willing to meet with and help students often. We are very happy we moved here.
I think it's funny how teachers at this school can be logged onto ten different websites and then wonder why students can't get on the Internet half the time. Also some of the teachers at this school are fairly awesome, some just expect students to know how to do the material without going over it f...
