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.

Overall, it's a great school. The teachers are very helpful and friendly, as well as my classmates. The rules are enforced pretty well, and I feel safe.

The school as a whole is in my opinion the best it can get. The best thing are the teachers there who will go to great lengths to help you understand the material. The school as a whole is very accepting so when I came in as a sophomore I didn't feel like an outcast. The worst part is probably when I first came to school it was just so big and there was a lot to adjust to coming from a middle school. To be honest as of right now I don't see any part that could need a change because everything works almost perfectly right now.

I'm a student, its honestly pretty average. We have a few problems with vaping but I believe the school is working on fixing that problem
