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.

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.

As an a+ student, I can say this school is EXTREMELY bad at teaching the future generation. Teachers are way too stubborn and give no breathing room (besides Mr. Wright and Mr. Garst), students mostly are unwelcoming and mean, food is so bad I have to pack lunch every day, everything about this school makes it tedious to wake up out of bed in the morning. 2/10.
