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.

Overall the teachers and staff were welcoming and caring who made it clear that they wanted the best for their students. I always felt safe in the school as situations were handled professionally. The only thing the school can do a better job on is in the guidance department as far as college admissions process. It was more of a fend for yourself compared to other highly involved schools. It worked out for me personally because I used other resources but to the average student and family they may just rely on the high school and I think the staff can be more hands on. But overall great student body and community.

My son loves the instructors here. They’ve been doing a great job teaching the students with a hybrid model (some days remote, others in-person) since the pandemic. The principal seems caring & keeps everyone informed & updated. We are grateful for this school!

The whole district is dedicated to the education of the whole child. We have a super high graduation rate. Our students compete at a national level in science, robotics, business and music. Our graduates go on to Ivy League schools. The school board is solely focused on the welfare of our children....

This district has wonderful teachers who care about their students. They offer a great deal of AP and honors level courses. AP Capstone is being introduced. There is a big focus on community service and giving back. There are also many options and opportunities for those with special needs
