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 school is decent. I moved from jersey so i didn't have pathways which was a weird thing to get used to. the teachers are half good half bad. luckly, i had all good teachers. From what i have heard and from personal experience all chemistry classes are hard here no matter the teacher.
