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.

I would say it's a pretty decent school but at the same time they have room for improvement and could change a few things.

I never ate the school lunch. I started taking my lunch to school back in 3rd grade. The school lunch never looks good. Other than the lunch at my school, I loved my high school. I had so many wonderful teachers that I will will miss and definitely keep in touch with. I will also miss my friends!! We had such a good time at our school. The environment at my high school was not what I expected when I first started. Once I got use to the campus, it was great! I would not have chosen any other high school!!

This school is horrible if you have any choice do not send your child here the bathrooms are full of smoke and the teachers do not teach they go on constant rants about personal anecdotes.

Post covid this school has not been the same. Sports have been lacking but slowly getting back to normal but for the students that lost the opportunity the school offered nothing in exchange. Yearbook staff does not pay attention to the students running the yearbook. 2 years in a row pictures of pre...

The administration, coaches, athletes and cheerleaders play the race card and seek to show seeds or discontent.
