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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience was interesting, having participated in the JROTC and marching band. The teachers are very nice, resourceful, friendly and always willing to help you succeed. I struggled in some of the higher level classes but was able to pass. The community is very supportive and have strong team spirit.
