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.

This is isn't the best but isn't the worst either. There have been times where actions by the higher ups were unnecessary like taking away our library and sport's team for a year....i just personally feel like you can't really connect with anyone here and feel invisible by my peers and teachers. This schools end up driving all the good teachers away or ends up firing them.

For starters,in my 2 years of attending this high school I have learned a lot and sculpted myself to admire the difference in my school, my school has a lot of diversity which allows nobody to feel out or out of place instead we allow everybody to connect and share our culture at the same time .Although I would say I am grateful to attend this high school it comes with many flaws including the organization and accessibility , it's as if they just want you to attend the school and have no course of difference or action to benefit the school everything here is very strict and not free .

It was a good school. Overall nothing wrong with the school itself but there were new admin last year my senior year. I went there all 4 years of school. They are attempting to fix the school but during my senior year that caused a lot of chaos. I hope they do achieve their goals and make it a good school.

I would give the school 5 stars but dress code is not enforced & the administration is soft on discipline. My children go here & I substitute teach regularly (7 years) at this school. I don't know who the other reviewers were speaking about in the office personnel, but I have never had anyone be rud...

This school allows kids to wear whatever they want, short shorts, low cut tops, flip flops, clothes you would expect to see at a beach or club, not school, this is very distracting. Orientation was very disorganized, many kids didn't get a class schedule, the office personnel are rude and unconcerne...
