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.

My high school experience was definitely iffy but I have learned so much and I participate in activities in the school which has gave me the experience to make so many friends and learn so much about myself. I am a part of an international club which has taught me so much about different cultures and getting to talk/ make friends with people with different backgrounds than me. I'm also a part of the women's soccer team with gave me a chance to meet some of my best friends and find an activity that I love. I also sing in the choir with has given me a way to let people here my voice and gave me a way to let my emotions out in music. My teachers and coaches are the most supportive people and I feel like I can trust them so much.

I was a student there and graduated in 1995. I loved it! There are so many clubs to join and the band program is the best! The band director knows what he is doing....I have many fond memories of attending there. I would not even think of going to another school. The teachers were nice and the schoo...
