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 like it there, very good teachers. Administration is very nice and good to get along with as long as you are on their good side. Not a large class selection, especially ap class wise, sadly.

One of the most positive schools I have ever attended. The students are always put first and mental health is also taken very seriously. Additionally, academics are very strong with a variety of classes to take. Each and every student is encouraged to be the best they can. Teachers are always around to help and go above and beyond. Furthermore, the administration is very helpful and very fair. Our principle and SP are liked by all in the system.

The school actually does have drug busts and smoking rarely ever occurs on school grounds. Also I have...
