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 students and teachers are great. Super sweet and makes it easy to make friends. The school building looks extremely nice. And the wide variety of extracurriculars is amazing. From welding and cosmetology, to jrotc and the health academy, there's always something that you will be interested in.

It wasn't very good. The first week I started counselors, teachers, and students made me go home crying everyday. I did not think it was decently ok until my senior year.

My daughter has special needs and is thriving at this school. Their SPED department, administrators, and teachers are all so supportive and motivating. Communication is wonderful, and we are all able to work together to make any changes necessary almost immediately.
