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.

It's not the best school. There's tons of drug use, even in the classroom. I don't really feel safe at this school. Even most of the honors classes end up being too easy. Lots of teachers bring up their political beliefs in class way too often. Some teachers are good, but some barely even teach.
