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.

The teachers and staff were more or less friendly. I am not a trouble maker so i haven't really seen the wrong side of the security guards or staffs so speaking from experience they are good. The education standards are average it could be better, but due to the environment that the school caters to , it is not. One thing I must say is they absolutely do make a great effort that your high school experience is exceptional.

The teachers were understanding. The counselors also helped me prepare for college. The school offered help with college applications and they also offered counseling for students looking to improve their gpa or regents scores. Overall my high school experience here was engaged. There were activities and sports and other events to get students involved.
