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.

This school is actually pretty awesome! It's really old but kept and good condition, teachers are nice, and they teach you real nice for the SOLs and middle school. Since it was built for a high school, the school has lockers! I found it very relaxing and I felt smart when I went there.
