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 really enjoy how involved the teachers and faculty overall is involved. Its a real family envirnment, school has become a second home. Overall its a very welcoming plcae, and when you don't have the best homelife some of these adults are not only your mentors but role models. I've had so many oportunites to branch to get to know new students, and theres a variety of clubs and sports.
