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.

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 liked the curriculum and the goal of the school to prepare students for college. I believe there should be a bigger emphasis on real world skills like budgeting, buying your first apartment/home, taxes, etc. Maybe a class on that for 1 marking period. Also, there should be more help for writing (essays, reaching word limit, etc)

Me, personally I enjoy how much the teachers and staff at the school pay attention to the students needs and wants. They teach us many things and are always willing to help if we need it. A change I would want to see is the lunch that we eat at school.

Most teachers are still very new and inexperienced which hasn't gone over well over the years. The education we receive is decent, but sometimes students can feel as though we slack a lot during each marking period due to needing to slow down often for those who can be ignorant to others who intend to learn, and often times teachers can favor those who go against much of what the school states that it doesn't tolerate.

It’s been good, was rough from the beginning(with my class being the second class to ever graduate from the school) but now it better. The teacher really care about their jobs and want you to learn. But they also want to know you as a person and not just as a student. The classes are tough because t...
