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 music program is growing and doing a lot of great things with some amazing students. If anything needs changed about the school it is about how it goes about safety and dealing with behavior.

My Highschool gave me a chance to over and beyond my skills. I was allowed to take college classes. They followed my IEP and teacher were so very helpful. I'm legally blind and hearing impaired. I play the violin and I have been first chair since my freshman year and I'm a junior.
