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.

Some great teachers, but some were the worst. The workload and studies were not colleges prepping at all. Not the best.

I understand it has improved, but it was negative in the past when I went there. The teachers didn't care, and the students cared even less. Extremely low standards at all levels. Diversity and school spirit are the best part of the school, but if you are anything but Latino you're basically invisible.

I like how every student can act like themselves and no one questions it. It's a small school but teaches a lot of lessons and helps find great friends.
