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.

I have enjoyed all of my teachers. They teach the curriculum while also making it more interesting and engaging. They get to know their students and have always been there when I needed them. Most are willing to give you their time to help you with things even if it's not necessarily school related. They genuinely care for their students.

My school is a good and safe learning environment. I haven't had any issues in my 4 years there. I wish they would offer better tutoring opportunities. My best experience has been having friends and a calm learning environment. The worst parts of my experience has been diversity. I don't see more than 10% of African Americans like myself. I also wish they would invest more and acknowledge all female sports; not just dance and cheer.

Plus the awful guidance counselor told all of my daugther’...
