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.

what i liked about this school was some of the teachers and how some of them would take the time out to teach us things that we wouldn't know how to do because the actual curriculum wasn't teaching us anything about the outside world. The school takes absences very seriously and if you're having problems at home or you need anyone to talk to they set you up with a mentor. they also have programs that you can get put into for low income families for housing or behind bills. the school is very helpful. but on the down side they're very last minute with events, the 12th grade administrator didn't let class of 2022 seniors pick anything of their choice, we didn't even get to choose a senior trip. but that is also because the class officers didn't come to school. so unfortunately we didn't get much.
