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 enjoyed my time here I had some of the best and supportive teachers. Students unfortunately fought a lot. The school building seems too small for the amount of students and same for some classrooms.

Overall it's a good school they give you many options on what to do with your future and also give you the opportunity's you need to get to your dream job. They also have many clubs and sports to be apart of.

Could have been better if we would've been in person all 4 years. Other than that I would say that my experience here has been decent.
