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.

The school itself is not bad. The teachers are well-qualified and are helpful. Students and school culture is very negative and unwelcoming.

Raise the overall standards. A decent number of students do well, but too many are doing the minimum needed to graduate.

Management was not the best but the guidance counselors are great. The food is pretty average, same with the education provided. Great performing arts department. Overall, not a terrible option for your kids.
