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.

The school had the best teachers and very educational. I graduated with no issue. The only thing needed to be worked on is bullying.

Administration is constantly changing. There is a lack of support staff. There aren't enough teachers to teach all of the classes and there is a shortage of substitute teachers. There are however many experienced and compassionate teachers who work hard daily to make learning enjoyable and efficient.

I like my friends and clubs that I belong too. I was able to join many clubs and do many activities during my high school years. Part of high school Covid became a nationwide disease. That made for some challenges. If I could change a few things in the school, it would be that our school needs to be more prepared for such events such as Covid. We had many staff changes which affected us as well.

The fact that there is no Social Worker and the Counselors have 400+ students is a big problem. Hire a Social Worker and 2 more School Counselors and see the difference!
