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 school life itself was amazing, I would just wish that whenever the classes would have their meetings, the officers would actually listen to what the student body had to say instead of making all the choices about what they wanted. I would also wish that they involved more clubs in the activities they did rather than just choosing the most popular clubs to help out.

The campus has not been renewed since the school's opening, which is completely necessary almost 30 years since the school was built.

I really enjoy the help that teachers in advanced subjects give to their students although teachers in more basic subjects do not do that as much.
