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 feel like things can be better with the food they don't provide great quality and don't give enough food. So administrators are slack at times when it comes to handling issues and keeping in contact with the parents. Bullying is an issue and kids are always getting into fights.

The teachers were all amazing, as were the administration. I wish all of the students were as amazing, but I am no longer there now.

My high school is the perfect size. It has just over 1,000 students. I have been able to connect with many students and the teachers because of the medium population of the school. It is not too small or too big. I love the environment and everything the school offers. We have a lot of school spirit, and everyone participates in all events. It is a close knit community, which has made my experience very enjoyable.
