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.

My experience with the school has been sub-par at best. The education is just alright, while the professors who teach are also mediocre. There is the occasional pleasant teacher, but that's about 1-in-10. There is also, to use the words of a staff member, a "Not so pleasant nurse," who I can attest is completely unpleasant.

The staff is very nice and the teachers are able to help with most issues. Overall have had a good experience with the school. Many outside activities to be a part of. A lot of school spirit from students and staff.
