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.

tbh, I can't really come up with a good experience in this school, the main issues are the faculty and administration, and since i've left they added new rules where you can't talk about a specific game and certain water bottles are banned. No hoodies on at any time which is understandable but at all times is strange. The only good part of this school is the opportunities and academics them everything else is 50/50 really good or horrible

I felt like it was prison, having to wake up at 6:30am and going to bed at 11PM every day, just to come here for 7 hours. The fo...
