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.

As someone who takes Aps, honors, and plays sports I have many different experiences. But my best experience is that I feel like since this is such a diverse school anyone can make friends, and overall with the staff and students there is a sense of community and belonging at this school. My worse experience is one teacher I had seemed to be targeting certain races or minorities but this is not a problem with most staff.

My experience is okay. My best parts of this experience is making friends and having a good relationship with the teachers, school activities are okay, and the spirit is in minimal. The worst parts is the food and the cleanliness of the restrooms. Another part is the staff not caring about the students, they do have some importance towards the students but they don't care. I don't really mind anything about the school, so no changes really besides the food and the excitement of the school.
