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.

This school was very fun in a way that it prepared me very well for the rigorous coursework that college has to offer. The teachers were very outgoing and nice and I had many teachers that really pushed me to become the best version of myself. Our school sports and environment were very good as it was a very entertaining four years.

The school overall is very lovely and I would 100% send my future children here.

Drugs and Vaping are very common on campus, and none of the school authorities care about it, despite of multiple tips and complaints no action has been taken, drugs are easily available for all the kids,if you are moving to this location please do your research before making a decision.
