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 loved coming to school here. I've gone to school here since Pre-K and now that I'm a senior, I can't see myself finishing any where else. Although there are some things that need to be fixed, it is currently in the works and it'll be better in the following years.
