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 think that my overall experience with this school has been positive because it is very academically driven. I feel very prepared for college because of the great curriculum and teachers that support me. However, these great things come at the expense of some others such as the school itself- it used to be an elementary school and we don't get a lot of money to update anything. Additionally, the food is just okay when other schools in the district have much wider varieties.

Overall it was an experience full of mixed emotions. It is not an easy school whatsoever. You have to bring your A-game in order to succeed in this school. It is a very academic focused school.

My son started here in the fall of 2015 as a freshman. So far we are very happy with the academics and he enjoys this school very much. He has had a handful of incidents from some of the wealthier kids regarding his lack of wearing overpriced brand clothing and not being as wealthy as them but that...

While the rigor is not for every student, for most students, the school is an AMAZING experience that prepares them well for college and life.
