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.

There is a disconnect between students and school spirit/culture. As well as a lack of safety and consequences. I enjoy going to school to learn and grow my education. However, some students prefer to fight and others think it's cool to watch, which can delay learning for others. Additionally, bathrooms are supposed to be a safe space; however, when students go in there to vape, fight, or mark up the bathroom as if wild boars came through, student's lives are at risks including health.

The best part of our school is the character of the teachers and staff. Everyone is dedicated to having students succeed. Many teachers are highly involved in student activities, clubs, and sports. Being able to have someone always be there and help me is something I am highly grateful for.
