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.

Nothing bad really happen. It was an average highschool. It had its drama mostly because of the freshmen , or people being flat out just dumb. The teachers there were lovely. I adore most of my teacher I had expecially my painting teach I had for 3 years. A lot of teachers were welcoming to talk to and joke around with. I did had some drama with friends but it's not highschool without it. Overall I wouldn't change my years there I enjoy being with my friends and having the teachers I did.

Our Junior is interning with Cerner twice a week, through the school. Our grades are great, the teachers...
