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.

My school experience is overall joyful. Every time I'm wandering the halls for important reasons, and teacher that sees me will make any joke or ask how I am doing or will even do a simple smile to let me know they are in a good mood or are just kind people.

let's change up the hallways and the stinky restrooms, let's get those fixed. next the teachers and staff are cool but they just pick and choose who they wanna be nice too, although i appreciate it bcs i didn't have to buy my cap and gown for graduation so t up. food is pretty good, sports aren't too bad the best part is honestly football. being in drill team is cool, but they need new coaches save those girls pls
