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.

One of the best parts of being a student here would be the amount of opportunities that we get. For example, the school tries to get every student involved in community service. We are doing an innovation project where we have to volunteer somewhere outside of school and try to make a change.

The best experiences I have witness is being able to have amazing support from my school when it came about my college classes and the help I got when I struggled with my overall school work. I also have been able to experience very great cultural celebrations at school and the activities that the school would do to make the students have a little fun. The worst parts of my experience is having to worry about the potential of being overworked into my college classes in which makes me and other students feel overwhelming.

I was not pleased with my experience at this school. However, i recognize that this school has the potential to be great by setting the right priorities and understanding that academic integrity is far more important than high test scores.

The school is a nice caring environment for the student wishing to get ahead with their college and high school education for free. The teachers really care about the student body and only want the best for your students.

This school is very unorganized and some of the teachers are very rude and mean, the principal is never there you only see her out of her when she has to use the restroom. Some of the students behave so childish and like I said before they are very very very UNORGANIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
