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.

There was the occasional roach but nothing overwhelming. The school was relatively clean. I would say the best part of the experience was the teachers though. Although some were awful, a select few were role models for me and I genuinely cared about what they had to say and teach.

This school is poorly run. Many teachers are uninterested. Administration is even more so. The building is dirty. Many students run wild and fight, smoke and cut classes.

I love it I transferred there in junior year and helped my grades and average become what they are. Teachers are excellent and help in every way they can when you have questions.

My son is in the 10th grade now. Im very dissapointed in the school. Teachers dont teach, most staff are very angry people, according to my son. The principal is extremely rude and dont show any respect. She sets the tone for her staff. She needs to be replaced.
