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.

The administration plays favorites. When kids do something they are not supposed to do and have someone they are very close with in the school they get out of trouble and do not face consequences. If you didn't start playing sports there your freshman year then you are not liked and will be singled out. Coaches are awful and very rude. They all play favorites and if you are not one of them they say awful things to you.

This school only cares about students who are "well-known". Teachers often change, and there are many that leave this school. The athletics are terrible, and coaches make jokes about players.

It wasn't bad. The classes were easy if I paid enough attention. I felt really comfortable with my teachers and counselor and I met my best friend there. I took classes that helped me build my confidence, and I honestly enjoy being at the school.
