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 love the administrators they have really helped me a lot. i wasnt on the right path when i first arrived but they got me where i should be. It was challenging when i started there, but they made sure i was where i should be. LIke they didnt hand me anything it was 50/50 and i love that. It shows they can work with you through your journey.

I believe the school is filled with some very great teachers who truly care about us and there are a lot of classes here that others don't have. You can make a great experience here if you're involved
