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 had an awesome time at this school but i do feel that it could have been better. The students and staff had a lot of spirit and are what made the experience enjoyable. However, the actual school was VERY old and had not been updated in years and our equipment wasn't all that good either which is what made it less enjoyable. Thankfully, they had plans the previous year for a full renovation but postponed it a year later and they have just started renovating it.

The last 4 years of high school were very good year for me. Meeting new people, showing school spirit, participating in activities I never thought I would, and playing sports are good memories that are going to stay with me forever. I'd like to see a change in our buildings, for them to be remodeled and for the future classes to come up with different things to have a better school.

Very concerned for the kids that have these high school football coaches coaching them. Instead of being leaders the coaches all went down on their knees while the national anthem was played. Their players showed enough respect to stand yet their pathetic coaches were on their knees of course. Sad w...
