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 moved this school after living in Philadelphia and the difference between this school and my old school are night and day. This school has any class you are looking for. You want to be an engineer? there is a class for that, a carpenter? Woodshop is here to help you. This school has so many opportunities that I didn't know were possible until I came here

I had an okay experiences. I consider myself lucky with the kind of education I got, but I'm not a fan of most of the students there. We have a lot of resource at your finger tips but not many use them. The kids could be a whole lot nicer to each other. The try to promote kindness as best as possible but nothing can change unless the students want that change. I mad that they cut a bunch of clubs within the past year.
