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 connections with the great teachers were the best part of my high school experience, but the worst part was the administration and some of the rules they put into place.

I wish they would listen to the students more about certain issues. The school is a great school though, they just add more rules than necessary and they have favorites. When a school or administrators have favorites then they allow those students to do whatever they want; whereas, if another student does the same then they'll get in trouble.
