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've been attending this school for three going on four years, this school is full of different personalities, different experiences, and different life styles but although there are different things the faculty still works to make us feel safe and welcome. Although we don't have the best track record administrators still work hard to help as many students as possible to have the best future possible and i'm so grateful to be a dub c lion.
