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.

Most of my teachers emphasize engaging discussion and project-based curriculums within intimate, accepting classroom settings. I have built strong relationships with them over my four years of high school, and continuously come to them for constructive feedback. They all exhibit a passion for teaching and are vastly knowledgeable in their respective fields.

The administration and policies at this school were typical. There is no dress code that the students need to follow. There is only one guidance counselor to talk with. The office staff were very helpful and knowledgable. The policies were normal of a typical public school.
