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.

It is a decent school, fights are rare, bathrooms are often shut down however. Teachers are 50/50 with being cool. It needs a total revamp, it is outdated, possibly unsafe drinking water.

I would like to see the school updated. I know it will be within the next few years but it is in disrepair right now in some classrooms. I would also like to see it get expanded a bit, Many teachers have to share a room because they don't have enough rooms for everyone to have one. Overall it is a great school that really prepares you for college or a trade, and they allow you to be dual enrolled at HCC, which means you earn college credit and high school credit all at the same time.

Great School! My tech area in Cyber is awesome and Mr. Miley is an excellent Mentor. I also appreciate the college being next door to the school so I could complete college course work while enrolled at the high school.
