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 High school forces their kids to do projects that are not needed to graduate by the state to graduate. The school also fails to help students with those project so it makes their senior year year a living hell as they have to do 2 projects and have very little time. the school also discourages kids from taking dual credit classes with the running start program because it makes them lose money. Overall the school is bais to the kid's whos families are popular in town and all the sports and events circle around them.

There desperately needs to be a change in district administration. This high school gives seniors "free passes" to graduate who did not meet credit requirements, which is very unfair to a student like myself, who worked very hard to meet the graduation requirements and also be valedictorian.

It was restrictive when I attended. They pretend to have kids best interest but more than half that graduate and go on to college have to take remdial writings and math classes. It has been this way since before and after my time.
