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.

Everyone has the choice to free do what ever they want and how they want to. To freely be able to speak upon what you like and having hard working and well minded teachers is what I love about this school and the amount of opportunities it gives to join a club to find your passion that could be a career, and the amount of help and tutoring it offer in order to excel in academics. However a few things I wish could be better, is safety in our school since it's really open and for the staff to be more understanding that we our own lives too when it comes to explaining a situation.

This school is amazing, if students are lazy they can't expect to succeed. There is no excuse, majority of students are low income and yet they make it into Harvard, Duke, and NYU. This success of a student is based on how much they care about their future.
