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.

Students often get into fights and faculty doesn't seem like they care about their jobs. some good academic programs though.

There are lots of memories to be had. Sometimes the place feels a little understaffed, but that could be due to COVID messing things up. Music program is ran by amazing directors. The arts in general feel amazing. One glaring flaw is the amount of people who can hide from the staff easily.

I really enjoy the school spirit and pride a lot of the students have here, however, I will admit that a lot more people have had negative effects on the school. Whether it's been the bathrooms being closed due to smoking or being late to classes due to fights etc. There are as many positives to this school as there are negatives.
