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.

As an alum whom recently graduated this high school, I believe it is an amazing high school for anyone. From their vast array of diploma programs to the diversity of the student body, this school has impacted my life for the better. In the classroom, we were able to speak our minds and debate hot topics in a productive and educational manner.
