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.

As a junior going into my senior year, I can say that this school is great unlike it shown. As a muslim, hibaji girl, I am safe and everyone is friendly in this school. They have great programs and classes to take and learn from.

The school feels like family to me and give a lot of opportunity to their students. The only downfall is the variety of programs and school formal reputations.

Automotive is a relatively small school with roughly 350 students, everyone knew everyone, that made it feel like a small community. Automotive lacked gender diversity the male to female ratio was overwhelming where there were more male than females.

I graduated in 1967 and was trying to find if the school had a PS number like my junior HS PS145 and elementary PS149. Most of these loaded questions are not really applicable to circa 1967
