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.

Overall, the school has been very supportive. The staff are the most enthusiastic at teaching or administering. The greatest complaint I have is the lack of air conditioning.

there is NO diversity in this school. the rating should be a D instead of a B. this school also has this unspoken rule of never teaching about minorities or history of minorities. just the other day a student said the F slur and actually believed that it's not a bad word. no one respects the disabled kids and the teachers don't accommodate for them. the cliques in this district form very early on and will not let outsiders in. this school only cares about awards.

A healthy amount of competitiveness, mostly white student population with some racial remarks and Blue Lives Matter flags carried by the football team, but no genuine problem except for growing up sheltered in the suburbs. Education has some standout teachers, the rest are new hires and young so you be the judge of that.
