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 best part would be enjoying the different trips that students can experience and full time enjoy . Also how they prepare us for college but also worry about our mental health. The worst parts would be the club interests for me personally and also the sports. I would like to see change would be the uniform policy but also sports to be more engaging.

During my 4 year journey in this school, the one thing I can say about it that has never changed, is the mediocrity of the school. I wouldn't say its a bad school, but it isn't a great one. The best part is how small and tight-knit the community is. The worst part is how small the school is and how little courses they offer. Also, the place isn't all that safe, things happen outside the school that thankfully doesn't affect us directly, but can still be a concern. 5/10.
