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 like the students and the community but the way the administration handles conflicts needs improvement.

The school is very good, but that's what you get for living in an expensive area. However, they say that they are good for people with mental health issues like myself, but I disagree with that. I find that it is very hard to communicate with the school. It has been okay for me, but my brother has had issues. I think the school sort of discriminates against the boys with mental illnesses and puts them in the category as rebels rather than people who are struggling with anxiety or depression.
