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 love attending this school. I love the many opportunities that I've been able to receive. I've been able to get the help I want by doing many of the programs they offer to make students successful. I am part of the varsity Cross country team and track and field team. I love the environment and the outgoing vibes the school brings.

My mother graduated in 1990. I graduated in 2003. I enjoyed my time there. I participated in track and cross country. I participated in the movie club and art club. I do not have anything negative to say.

The teachers always made their best to teach us and make us feel safe, but there was no good control over the students that used to skip or walk around the school.
