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.

I feel the best part is the teachers. I have met some very nice teachers who don't teach the same, so I feel that with the different ways they teach their courses, I have to adapt to how they teach, which makes me more versatile.

My experience so far has been great! The building itself is clean and newly done. The staff is amazing and the students are connected across all grade levels. A change I'd like to see is more school spirit events or assemblies to get others excited to be at school.

Good school, but needs to focus on the students and teachers wellbeing's before they focus on grades, too much bullying that goes unpunished or unnoticed while they bribe and threaten students when taking state tests.

Being new to the school system, and having a child entering the high school as a freshman we could not be more happy with the faculty and how well they helped her prepare and adjust to the new school district.
