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 have been at this school since sixth grade. What sets it apart are the resources available. Because it is a STEM and CTAE school, there are quite a few career field-based courses, clubs, and teachers.

On the other hand, if you actually go to this school,...

My son had a bully, I contacted the school and my son reported it stopped. I’m not sure what actions the school took per hippa but it was isolated. 9 th graders are nice and participate in gum with my son, I was surprised by this. Seems like a great school with nice kids. My son has just finished hi...
