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.

The reason I love this school so much is because of how each teacher is willing to help me in anything I need help with. Sometimes it's hard to look for someone who can help you.

If you want asbestos in your system for the next ten years, this is the place for you. The faculty are superb, most of them anyway. It's mostly just one lady yelling at people and giving them lunch detention for being late. That's all. Thanks for the education.

It is been a great four years at this school and i will miss it so much when I leave. Our school has gone through a lot of changes and I am glad to have seen it all.

While this school may have some satisfactory classes and resources, especially in science, it absolutely fails as a mentor to those who are twice exceptional. It also has a subtle religious undertone.
