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.

Their are too many incidents that happen at this school. Some of the teachers are nice but not all of them are. Their teaching skills are poor and some show lack of respect towards students with anxiety and students in general. I am in my last year at this school and I can't wait to leave this place. It felt as if passing was more important than learning. It feels like a prison.

There are a lot of different races at this school. It is a very well mixed school, and I do not think that there were racist acts in bullying of that sort. There were other bullying subjects such as weight and height that people tried to make the best of.

There were some problems, but there weren't major problems that couldn't be handled. The dean was let go because of a cyberbullying action that wasn't taken care of. The safety is well-rounded, but that is because of the students, not the school.

Notice how when you read the reviews the good ones are all from 2020 or a few years ago, and all the negative reviews are more recent?
