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.

I think your experience depends on the person. Personally, my experience was really good. The best parts had to include band. There wasn't really a worst part.

Loved the teachers and the diversity of the student body. I would love for the school to be updated (it is extremely old and outdated) and receive newer educational resources.

The school is very diverse. Everyone there is very nice and helpful no matter how long you have been there. I would like to see the administration let up a bit with the students. They enforce so many rules which I don't think are that necessary.
